Estimate stores the production values for a cost item when its quantity is set to zero. This provides flexibility when copying items from templates or other jobs and lets you easily identify items that are yet to be estimated. You can zero the quantities for superior cost items and have the subordinate items and their employments quantities too be zeroed until they are ready to estimate a specific scope of work.
Updating the cost item’s quantity to a non-zero value restores the production values and calculates the quantities for the subordinates/employments based on the stored factors. This way, you don’t lose any of the factors or values.
When the parent cost item's quantity is updated to zero, the subordinate cost item's quantity also updates to be zero. This is applicable for cost items that have the Quantity Driver equal the Superior cost item.
The cost items with drivers that equal the pay item, fixed, or roll-up continues to be suspended. For example, let's start with the the parent cost item quantity being driven by the subordinate with the quantity roll up code of the parent cost item made into null/wrong code. Then, the assigned/UOM mismatches. Resulting in the parent cost item equaling 0. Then, the subordinates are suspended.
When the quantity of a subordinate is updated to a non-zero value, the subordinate is suspended.
When the quantity of the parent cost item is updated to a non-zero value, the subordinate is un-suspended and its values are not updated proportionately.
For terminal cost items with zero quantity, non-zero quantity employments display in suspended color as they are not contributing.
The employments show as suspended if the employment quantity is changed/modified after the cost item's quantity is set to zero.
If a terminal cost item's quantity is set to zero, the employment's quantity is set to zero and is not suspended. Their value is scaled based on stored factors when the quantity of the Cost Item is set back to a non-zero value.
During an upgrade, subordinates with non-zero value remain suspended when the parent cost item has zero quantity. Subordinates with zero value are unsuspended when the parent cost item has zero quantity.
When new cost item's are added to the Job after the Job is locked, and the parent cost item's quantity is set to zero, then the subordinate cost item's quantity field is also set to zero and its quantity field is disabled.
