Billing method default earnings rules

You can manage the default cost item earnings amounts based on either Forecast (T/O) quantity or CE total cost for the following billing methods.

  • Fixed final price

  • Unit price

  • Cost Plus

The default earnings are calculated using the forecast takeoff quantity of the cost item and comparing it to the total forecast takeoff quantities of all the cost items assigned to that pay item to generate the percentage.

Fixed final price and Unit price

Fixed final price and Unit price lets you select a default way to calculate those earnings amounts based on takeoff forecast quantity or CE final cost. After the settings are saved, all your fixed final price pay items that normally calculate based on CE final cost and unit price then calculate forecast takeoff quantity or any of the other options you select. You can still modify this selection at the pay item level.

Cost plus

Cost plus pay items can have revenue calculated based on the assigned cost items' CE total cost or Forecast total cost.
