Edit Plug items

Plug items

When the cost source is Plug, you can edit the following fields:

• Adjusted cost

• Unit cost

• Adjusted Mhrs

• Mhrs/Unit

• Unit/Mhr

• Labor cost/Mhr

These fields can be edited only in the Edit cost item slide-out panel. You can edit the Adjusted CB Qty value from the Cost item pricing register.

The fields work interactively. If you change the value of a field, Change calculates the values of the related fields. When you update the adjusted cost and there is a value in the Labor cost category, Change lets you select the Labor cost/Mhr or the Adjusted Mhrs field to be recalculated. When you update the unit cost, Change calculates the adjusted cost, and then spreads the cost across all cost categories.

If no quantity has been entered, you can enter an adjusted cost. The Mhrs, Mhrs/Unit, and Unit/Mhr fields are disabled. After you enter an Adjusted CB Qty, all fields are enabled. Adjusting the man-hours maintains the Labor cost/Mhr from Control to calculate the overall adjusted cost. After you make a change, the Unit rate driver field changes to Manual. The manual changes are saved as an additional unit rate driver when they are applied and saved to the register.

Initially, the cost item has a unit rate driver value of Current Budget, and you are prompted to enter the Adjusted CB Qty. Afterwards, the adjusted cost uses the productivity rates to calculate the details and Cost Categories tab. Adjusted MHrs, MHrs/Unit, Unit/MHr, and Labor cost/Mhr are used to calculate the total Labor cost category.

The Cost categories tab in the Cost-item slide-out panel shows the assigned cost category assigned to the plug cost item. The adjusted cost is placed into a cost category based on the cost pricing selected. For example, when Cost pricing is Materials, the adjusted cost is shown in the cost category of Materials. You can manually distribute costs across individual cost categories. All cost categories are added together into a Total adjusted cost for the cost item. The name of each Cost category shown in the tab can be modified using custom labels.

When you update the Labor cost category, Change prompts you to select to proportionally adjust the Labor cost/Mhr or the Adjusted MHrs value. When you update the Adjusted Mhrs field, Change prompts you to select to proportionally adjust the Labor cost/Mhr or the Labor total cost value.

On the Resources tab, you can add or remove resources, but they do not affect calculations.

When the CCO is executed, Control consumes the updated quantity, cost, and man-hours in the Contract adjustment.
