Special variables

The following special variables can be used in formulas: 

  • WAQty: Work assembly quantity
  • EstQty: Estimate header quantity

WAQty can be useful for kit-type assemblies. For example, if an assembly requires a quantity of 2 of component A, then that component's equation will be WAQty * 2.

For work assemblies using only the WAQty special variable, the Quantity is populated based on the quantity entered when adding the item to the estimate from the database.
