Data source

Estimate provides options that let you manage pay items in your estimate using standard electronic bidding files from government agencies and contractor estimating systems.

You can use standard electronic bidding files to import line items in bulk. Importing electronic bidding file line items into the Pay Item & Proposal register in bulk saves you time from entering them manually. You can also avoid typos and errors when importing items such as item IDs, descriptions, quantities, and UoMs.

You can find the data sources in the Pay Item & Proposal Register > Actions > Data Source section.
