Plant List-costs

[alfresco]

I have completed a planting list and wish to forecast cost. I tryied using the VW plant list-cost work sheet. I cannot enter unit prices for plant material? How can I enter prices into the work sheet and calculate a project plant cost? Thanks.

Enter the price of each plant type or sku in the Plant Definition. The Plant List-cost worksheet uses these values to calculate the costs.

Enter the price in the Plant Definition by selecting the Place Plant tool, then choosing the plant type that you want to edit from the Plant ID pop-up in the Tool Bar and and then clicking on the Preferences (pencil and wrench) icon. In the Place Plant Preferences dialog that appears, click the Edit Definition... button and enter the price in the Price: field.

You can change the price of a plant definition at any time in this manner and the new price will be applied to each existing plant in the file plus any new plants that you add. To see the updated costs in the worksheet, choose the Recalculate item from the Worksheet menu. (small downward facing arrow below the green checkbox in the upper left of the worksheet window)
