Budget Quantity / Man-Hour Adjustment

During the course of a project, it is typical to have scope modifications that warrant changes to quantities or labor hours.

It is important to remember that changing man-hours or quantities will affect budgeted values of MH/QTY, QTY/MH, and Unit-Costs, but will not change the overall dollar value of your budget.

Within InEight Control, you can perform budget quantity and man-hour adjustments using a controlled approval process.
