To access the Pricing page, you can click the Pricing tab in an issue.
The Pricing page includes new features, including the ability to manage columns, the ability to associate a cost item to a vendor change order, and the ability to add an unassigned pricing item.
The Pricing page includes enhanced column management. The Column chooser has been replaced by the Column section builder. The Column selection builder lets you arrange columns by either using the directional arrows or with drag-and-drop editing. New Transfer all to and Transfer all from directional arrows let you move all fields between the Available columns and Selected columns panels. You can use the drag-and-drop feature to move columns to and from the Selected columns panel and to change the column order.
You can also move columns to the locked section. If you want to go back to the original column arrangement, you can click the Reset to default button. The Pricing page also lets you use the drag-and-drop function to arrange columns directly in the Pricing grid.
When you add items to the Pricing page, they are added sequentially without grouping into categories. You can use the new Group columns feature to show columns grouped by cost pricing type, UOM, or pay item.
To group columns, click the Group columns icon. A gray bar shows, and you can then drag the Cost pricing, UOM, or Pay item column header and drop it in the bar. The cost items are then grouped by the values in the column. For example, if you group columns by cost pricing, all Labor items are grouped together, then all the Equipment items are grouped together, and so on. A subtotal row is also added for each group.
For more information about using the pricing page features, see Pricing page organization tools.
You can now associate a cost item pricing item to a vendor change order from the Pricing page instead of having to go to the Pricing summary page. The Associate to Vendor Change order icon has been added to the tool bar. If a vendor has been added to a cost item, you can select it, and then click the Associate to Vendor Change order icon to add the item to a vendor change order. The Vendor column has been added to the Pricing page, so you can quickly see if a vendor has been assigned to a cost item. The vendor change order also shows on the Pricing summary page Edit vendor and pricing information slide-out panel. For more information, see Associate a pricing item to a vendor change order.
You can add an unassigned pricing item that does not have a cost item associated to it. An unassigned pricing item has lump sum cost pricing by default and populates the Pricing summary page in the Lump sum section. The Adjusted cost field is editable in the Pricing grid. Unassigned cost items do not have cost categories. When sent to InEight Control, the pricing items are unassigned. For more information, see Add a cost item.
In Release 25.9, all pricing items will only be editable at their original creation level and will automatically synchronize to higher levels. The option to disable this automatic pricing sync will also be removed.
To ensure greater data consistency and streamline pricing processes, cost item pricing change processes are being updated. Currently, cost item pricing changes must be made at the issue level, and these changes automatically update in related higher levels like potential change orders and client change orders, while pricing items entered in the Pricing summary cannot be automatically synced to other levels.
