Accessories and Packages

 

Proposal reports are the only reports in SI 2015 that will display Accessories with their "parent" Item and they are the only reports that will display Packages with all Items grouped together. If for some reason you don't want to keep Accessories with the parent Item or if you don't want to show Packages in your Proposals, there are Report Settings for these.

Definitions

 

Proposals have the following default Report Definitions:

Model and pricing can be turned off via settings in the Report Definition.

 

By default, only Products display on these reports, not Labor Items. You can choose to display Labor Items via a setting in the Report Definition but the price for the Labor Items will not display. This because all pricing on this report does not include labor until the very end of the report. In the shot below, the option to show Labor Items was selected:
