    Frequently Asked Questions

    Pricing and items

    I want to add Additional Parts and Labour to the Quote that aren't shown on a Plan. Can I do that?

    If Revisions are part of your workflow, add them within Groundplan so they don't need to be added within Xero after every Revision. Examples include but are not limited to sundries, travel or equipment hire, and extra contractor hire.

    On the Worksheet tab, Additional Items and Labour can be added to individual Stages. These are items not usually populated on the Plan and not accounted for in your Xero items but are required in the Quote in Xero.

    To do that:

    1. Click the Worksheet
    2. Choose from Groundplan Once-off Items or a Xero Item and + Labour

    If I update my pricing in Xero, will this automatically update?

    If you have used a Take-off Template for your Project, then no, it will not automatically update.

    Pricing is saved at the time of Take-Off Template creation. If your pricing has changed in Xero, update the Parts in your Template by relinking them.

    If Xero Items are linked to multiple Measurements, they will need to be removed from all Measurements and then relinked again.


    I have used the same Xero Item under multiple Groundplan Measurements. Why can I only see it once in my Xero Quote?

    They have Grouped together. The same Xero Item appearing under multiple Measurements in the same Stage will Group together on the Xero tab and when pushing to a Xero Quote.

    This is also the same for Labour.

    For example, a surface socket for multiple Measurements in the same Stage will Group together:

    Why is the word "Lighting" appearing after all my products?

    The Stage names appear at the end of the Product Name within the Quote.

    If you prefer not to display a name at the end of a Stage, we recommend using a period (full stop) as the Stage name. This will be visible on the Quote but less intrusive than a name. This will also populate on a Legend if it is used on a Plan.
