Estimating & Workflow
Line items
The individual entries in an estimate that describe each unit of repair, the material or task, the quantity, and the price. In an ESX file, line items carry the codes that Xactimate uses to map the work to the price list. The accuracy of an estimate depends on the line items, because every quantity, code, and price stays visible for the adjuster to review.
