Why Doesn’t the Markup or Discount Match the Estimate Total?
Learn why the markup or discount shown in an estimate may appear incorrect when some products are excluded from the calculation.
Article Introduction
A markup or discount may be selected for the entire estimate, but that does not always mean the adjustment is calculated using every product in the estimate.
Some products may be configured as non-markupable or non-discountable. When this happens, the estimate total includes those products, but the system excludes them when calculating the applicable markup or discount.
What is a non-markupable product?
A non-markupable product is included in the estimate but does not receive the markup applied to eligible products.
What is a non-discountable product?A non-discountable product is included in the estimate but does not receive the discount applied to eligible products.
Can this behavior be changed?This behavior cannot always be changed cleanly. Available alternatives depend on how the products and Price List are configured.

Important Notes
- The estimate total includes both adjustable and excluded products.
- The markup or discount is calculated only against eligible products.
- Multiplying the displayed percentage by the full estimate total may not match the adjustment shown.
- This does not necessarily indicate that the estimate calculated the adjustment incorrectly.
