To adjust how your allowance markup is distributed, navigate to Sales > Estimates > Details and click the Allowance Markup Distribution drop-down to select your choice.
Markup on Allowance Items
Distribute over all non-allowance items (Default)
The markup on allowance items is evenly distributed across all non-allowance items. The customer sees only the allowance amount, with no visible margin.
When to use this:
If you include a specific product (e.g., an oven with a listed model and brand), customers can easily look up its retail price. Distributing the markup avoids questions about why your allowance price appears higher, since your margin is built into the rest of the estimate.
Do not distribute allowance markup
The markup remains within the allowance item itself and is visible in that line item amount.
