Blind bids

Create a blind bid from the take-off list from a blueprint or the Dodge Report. You can prepare quote orders for projects before you know the customer to maintain a competitive edge.

Before you can create blind bids, you must first create blind bid, or miscellaneous, customers in Customer Setup. A blind bid customer can be an actual customer or a generic customer that you set up to represent a category of customers. For example, you can set up customer records for contractors and industrial customers. You can include pricing information to correctly set pricing on the blind bid for the type of customer who might eventually purchase the products. Blind bids work with the pricing worksheet so you can reprice line items using a different customer price type.
