Get Control unit rates

You can update the OB MHrs/Unit, CB MHrs/Unit, CE MHrs/Unit, and Forecast Remaining MHrs/Unit for quantity items with current rates from InEight Control. This lets you use the latest budget unit rates from Control multiplied by the latest forecasted Design quantity to understand the impacts to man hours on the project.

With Quantity Items tagged with a WBS from Control, the action lets you select which cost items to update the unit rates in Design. Control then shows the current unit rate applied in Design, the pending unit rate from Control, when the unit rate was last updated, and who performed the last update. Unit rates are never updated automatically with InEight Control unit rates. You must go through the Get Control unit rates action to update the rate applied to a Quantity Item.

MHrs Delta columns

The MHrs/Unit delta and MHrs Delta columns let you see any MHrs/Unit or MHrs change before applying the Pending Control Unit Rate. This is a read-only field that shows the difference between the total MHrs of quantity items with like WBS calculated using the current Quantity Forecasting rate and the total MHrs calculated using the Pending Control rate.

The Manual Rate column lets you specify a manual CE MHrs unit rate for a WBS phase code, while still allowing other WBS phase codes to function off the unit rate from Control.

Get FC Remaining MHrs/Unit - Manual Rate column

The Manual Rate column in the Get FC Remining MHrs/Unit dialog box. This column lets you specify a manual FC Remaining unit rate for a WBS phase code, while still allowing other WBS phase codes to function off the unit rate from Control.

Considerations

  • You must have Level 3 – Account Admin permissions in InEight Platform or a role with the applicable permissions in Quantity Forecasting.

  • Get OB MHrs/Unit and CB MHrs/Unit options must be setup in Project settings.
