FAQs

Q: I've updated my pricing in Ascora. Why do my templates still show the old pricing?

A: Inventory Supply and Kit Pricing is saved at the time of Take-Off Template creation.

When the Template is used and items are pushed to a New or an Existing Ascora Quote, the pricing of the Inventory Supply and Kit will update within the Sections Quote in your Ascora account. Within your Groundplan Take-Off Templates, the pricing will stay the same as when first created but show as updated when it reaches Ascora.

Q: I have used the Import Take-off Template function to bring in my Measurements. Do I need to link Ascora Products?

A: Yes. Measurements will need to be manually linked to Ascora Inventory Supply or Kits. You can follow the steps in the GIF above.
