How to obtain an item rate by applying a certain percentage to the unit rate of a different item either from the price list or the BoQ.

Answer
This can be obtained by using the 'surcharge in percent' function, and ' surcharge on BoQ items (Wall repairs) ', available on the price list editor -> Standard tab menu, --> see figure
procedure:
A) surcharge in percent, it allows to obtain the unit rate of a certain work item ( surcharge...)by applying a percentage to the unit rate of a different work item
--> see figure
Having calculated the price, this (surcharged...) work item must be moved from the price list editor to the measurement editor of the BoQ. Here, in the measurement row must be inserted the same measurement/quantity for which can be used the 'insert see item' function. --> see figure

B) surcharge on BoQ items (Wall repairs), it allows to obtain a work item price (Wall repairs...) by applying a percentage to the item rate of one or more work items listed in the measurement editor.
--> see figure
Having calculated the price, this ( Wall repairs...) work item must be moved from the price list editor to the measurement editor of the BoQ. Here, in the eq. parts box of the measurement row must be inserted 1 in order to obtain the unit quantity.
