Sized services — a 9×8 door, three of them

Services that come in a size carry a width × height and a count, so 'three 9×8 doors' is one line instead of three or a number typed from memory.

What it is

A per-item flag. A sized service's lines carry a descriptive width and height — it names which door this line is and never feeds the arithmetic, because a 9×8 door costs what the builder says it costs, not 72 of something. Custom-quoted lines also carry a quantity that multiplies the price each.

Also called: custom garage door size · quantity on a custom line · 9x8 door · how many of that size

Signature
A custom sized service row — SIZE (w × h) and HOW MANY controls side by side, with the math string '3 × 9′ × 8′ @ $1,650 = $4,950' beneath (ServiceLineRow.tsx). Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1Mark a catalog item as sized in Settings; every line of it gains width and height fields.
  2. 2The size prints on the line and in the customer-facing measurement label ('9′ × 8′').
  3. 3On a custom line, the price is the price EACH and the quantity multiplies it.
  4. 4Quantity floors at 1, so a legacy row that carries 0 or nothing can never silently become $0 on a page a customer has already seen.
Why we built it

A builder quoting two 9x8 garage doors and one 16x8 had to either add the same line three times or do the multiplication in his head and type the result, which is exactly the arithmetic an estimate exists to stop him doing. Services that come in a size now carry a width, a height and a count, so three 9x8 doors is one line that prints its own dimensions and quantity.

The problem
  • Custom-priced items that could only ever be one thing at one price
  • Sizes and counts done mentally and typed as a result
Sound familiar?
What you get
The quote names the exact door, at the exact size, times how many
The customer reads '3 × 9′ × 8′ @ $1,650' instead of a bare figure
