Editing Material and Labor Costs on Cost Center Prebuilds
Posted: Mon May 04, 2026 11:46 am
Hello,
I have noticed that when I go the UI and edit a Prebuild for a Cost Center, you are offered the option to Edit for Job #xxxxxx or Edit Main Pre-Build. When you select Edit for Job, you are able to adjust Materials and Costs. However, this is not available if you use the
api/v1.0/companies/{companyID}/jobs/{jobID}/sections/{sectionID}/costCenters/{costCenterID}/prebuilds/{prebuildID} route since they take different parameters.
If we simply create a new prebuild with the values we need based on the original pre-build, we lose the Build item it comes from.
I notice that, though the UI, there's a parameter on the Form Data on the editPrebuild.php call when editing for Job called editFor (See attached Screenshot
).
Essentially, I was hoping there was an endpoint I could hit that mimics this.
