Updating part information in a takeoff or grid
Updating part costs using the takeoff vendor
Note: This functionality is available only if you have the Estimating Module.
You can update part costs in a takeoff grid or an entire takeoff. Sage 100 Contractor updates the costs in the takeoff from the parts database for the vendor assigned to a particular part for that takeoff.
Important! Before saving, review the changes. After you save, you cannot reverse the update.
To update the part cost using the takeoff vendor:
Open a takeoff in 9-5 Takeoffs.
To update a specific grid:
-
In the Bid Item list, select the bid item.
-
In the Phase list, select the phase.
-
In the Update menu, point to Grid, then point to Prices from Parts Database, then click Based on Takeoff Vendors.
-
To update the entire takeoff, on the Update menu, point to Takeoff, then point to Prices from Parts Database, then click Based on Takeoff Vendors.
A message appears with the following details about the update, prompting you to continue:
- Part prices for the grid are updated based on the assigned vendor’s price for the part.
- If the part is not found in the database, then no changes are made to that part.
- If the assigned vendor’s price is zero and the part cost default exists for the part, then that cost is used.
- For all other instances, no changes are made to that part’s price.
