Allows for revenue lines each with a breakdown by the standard types - Activity, Labour, Plant, Stock as Cost lines.

There is an option to add a Bill Of Materials

as a Revenue Line which will use the selling price from a Price Code if the BOM item is included in the Price Code. Any Price Code markup/rate definition for the BOM header Item takes precedence over the natural markup/rate dictated by the BOM header Item.

The revenue line fields specify the following.

• Sequence allows the revenue lines to be ordered.

• Qty is the quantity of units being quoted to sell. Updating the Qty after cost lines have been defined will proportional increase the Qty on the sub-grid cost lines.

• Sell Basis allows to choose how you want the Selling Rate to be calculated.

There are two options to default Work Centre on Cost Lines, that are controlled by setting [Revenue Cost Element Work Centre Default]

Options:

• Inherit Revenue (this is the default value): Work Centre is set on a Revenue line, and its Cost Lines will inherit Work Centre from it.

  • Job Work Centres: When creating a budget all WCs on Revenue lines will become Job Work Centres or description updated with the description field on the Cost Sheet for each Revenue line (if the JWC already exists).
    Any JWCs from a Job template will also be added when creating a Job.
    

• Activity Group Default: The Work Centre on the Revenue and Cost lines will default from Activity Group defaults.

  • This scenario is more common on a manufacturing type of job, where Work Centre and Activity are not relevant on Revenue Lines when estimating this work. Generic Work Centres like Labour, Materials, and Subcontracts are used in the Budget to understand the Cost structure as a whole available to complete the job.

  • For this reason, it is suggested that Work Centre and Activity columns are hidden from the Revenue lines screen using Grid Management (Cost Sheet Revenue Lines). If hidden, the Activity Code and Work Centres will be populated with default values, as they will be later required when creating a Budget. Activity will be populated with the Activity defined in Control Parameter [Quote default Activity code], and the Work Centre will be defaulted from that Activity.

  • Work Centre column can be hidden from the Cost lines screen using Grid Management as well (Cost Sheet Revenue Popup Lines).

  • Job Work Centres: When creating a budget no JWC will be added.
    Any JWCs from a Job template will be added when creating a Job.
    

• Default WC on BOMs items: Work Centre on these BOM items will follow same rules as the other Cost Lines, based on the new setting.

When using At Revenue and Cost Element, on budget creation, all cost lines in the Cost Sheet under the same Revenue line, will be created in the Budget under the same Revenue line.
If Job the Job already has Job Work Centres, the descriptions will be updated with the descriptions on the Revenue line.
