Actuals by Manual Entry

 

Manual Entry Quantity Claiming

There are times when you will want to enter quantities directly in InEight Control. Reasons include any time you do not want a foreman to have access to codes to charge against or claim quantities to. A more specific example may include indirect staff codes or indirect costs that you do not want your foreman who are claiming progress in the field to have access to.

Any time you claim a cost item directly in InEight Control, the option will not be available to claim that cost item within InEight Plan.

Next, you will do a Step by Step for entering quantities in Control.
