Why check
A total that does not match its lines goes out to a client, gets accepted, and the difference comes out of your profit. Optional lines added into the total by mistake are the usual cause, and so is a discount nobody took off.
SUBR does this on every quote
SUBR's AI runs the same check on every quote it reads, along with the client, the address and the dates, and your office approves the read before anything moves.
Questions
Should optional items be in the total?
No. An optional line is a price for something the client may add. It belongs on the quote but not in the total, or the client is asked to pay for something they have not chosen.
How close is close enough?
To the penny is best. The checker treats anything within a pound as matching, to allow for rounding on the lines.
Where the figures come from
Every number this tool works with is one you enter. It uses no outside rate, threshold or date, so there is nothing to look up.
