Use Zigaflow to price hire/rental by the day/week/month

Updated this week

Zigaflow allows you to calculate prices and costs for items for hire by the number of days, hours, months, etc.. You can do this for Quotations, Jobs/Sales Orders, Invoices and Purchase Orders.

This is possible through the system field 'Multipler1'. If, for example, you quote by the day, you would use Multipler1 for the number of days. This field can be renamed to 'Days', or whatever your rental increment is.

Getting Started

(These instructions are for the quotes module but are virtually the same for the other modules)

You will need to see the multiplier fields on the quote edit screen in order to edit them.

  • Select the Cog

  • Select Quotation Settings

  • On the left, click on 'Show/Hide Line Item Columns

  • Set Multiplier1 to 'Show'

  • When you edit a quote you will now see this field

Add the tag for the multiplier to your PDF quote template. It is {ItemMultiplier1}. The result in the PDF can be similar to this:

Price vs Cost

If you are hiring in and hiring out the same equipment, the system uses the same hire days number, i.e. if you hire it to your client for 5 days, the cost will be calculated to the 5 days. If you are, in turn, renting the equipment for a longer duration and want to include that cost in the cost or job/sales order, add a line that just has the cost and make it not visible to the customer (Hide on PDF).

Purchase Orders (PO's)

If you create a PO unconnected to a job, you will be able to add in the days once you have the column(s) visible (see above). If you are creating a PO from a quote or job the process will copy the multiplier1 value.
