Your receipts now count the sales tax

Material receipt totals include sales tax in your job costs — so your actuals match what actually left your bank account.

Sales tax counts now

If you've ever looked at a material receipt in BidCraft and thought "that's not what I paid," you were right. Sorry about that. It's fixed.

Here's what was happening: receipts list their items before tax, with the tax tacked on at the bottom. BidCraft was adding up the item lines and calling that the receipt's cost to the job — which quietly left the tax out of your numbers. On a $2,000 supply-house run, that's over $150 of real money that never showed up in your job costs.

What changed:

  • Material receipts now count the full amount you paid, tax included, when they land in your job costs.
  • Partial use still prorates. Bought 10 sheets of waterproofing and used 4? You still only get charged for 4 — and now for the tax on those 4, too. Leftover inventory stays leftover.
  • Same treatment for the other stuff at the bottom of the receipt — register discounts, delivery, environmental fees. It all follows the share you actually used on the job.
  • Labor, permit, dump, and other receipts were never affected. Those always counted the full amount.

Your Predicted vs actual numbers just got more honest, which means the margin you see on a finished job is the margin you actually made.

[!note] Open a receipt's detail drawer and you'll see the individual lines still listed pre-tax — that's how the receipt was printed. There's a small note under the project total calling out receipt-level tax, discounts, and fees so the gap makes sense at a glance.

Nothing to turn on. Log a receipt like you always have.
