Pricebook (Services vs Equipment vs Material)

[Asantos1tp]

I have a couple of questions in regards to the Pricebook setup.

I created the material list (plumbing fittings), equipment list (toilets, water heaters, well pump) and services (install new toilet, install new water heater etc.)
My question is:
If I add a toilet (equipment) to a service (install new toilet) when the service is added to an estimate by the technician, it creates 2 items, 1 for the service and 1 for the equipment. How can I change this so the client sees only 1 item?

Also, it has 2 options to add material, in the equipment itself or the service. What's the difference between the 2 of them? For example, when installing a toilet we use wax ring. the wax ring should be added to the toilet (equipment) or the install new toilet (service).

Thank you,

Are you using Dynamic Pricing?

I'm not sure, I added the price to the service and to the material/equipment.

Dynamic Pricing is a great tool to use in these cases.  You can add commonly used items to the Service (like a wax ring) instead of to the equipment.  As a best practice item, equipment is typically an item that has a serial number (like a water heater) instead of common items like toilets.  If you get a moment, review the Dynamic Pricing knowledge base articles or search up the Blue Collar Nerd videos as I know he has some great walkthroughs on how to set it up.
