Alloy Surcharges in BoQ Budget Calculation

Alloy surcharges are calculated in the BoQ Budget Calculation lines. The alloy surcharges can originate from the general alloy surcharges or ones set up specifically for the project.

The calculation of the expected alloy price and amount per Base Unit of Measure are shown in the Exp. Alloy Price (base) and the Exp. Alloy Amount (base x quantity) fields. Choose the value in either field to open the Alloy Surcharges Lines page.

The calculations are based on several settings (see Calculating Surcharges).

The fields on the Alloy Surcharges Lines page are defined for sales processing in the Alloy Management for Sales topic. Refer to these field definitions for general information.

Tip

You can also open the Alloy Surcharges Lines page by choosing Line > Alloy Surcharge Lines on the Related menu as well is in the BoQ Position List by choosing Line > Alloy Surcharge Lines on the Calculation FastTab and in the BoQ Position Card by choosing Line > Alloy Surcharge Lines on the Components FastTab.

Project-specific alloy surcharges

Alloy quotations assigned to the project will be used to calculate the surcharges (see Set up project-specific alloy charges).

General alloy surcharges

To use the daily-based alloy surcharges, you need to define a calculate date in the project (see Specify date for general alloy surcharges). The calculation will use the alloy quotation that corresponds to the date entered in the project.

Calculate alloy surcharges

If changes are made to either the general or project-specific alloy quotations, choose Functions > Calculate Alloy Surcharge on the Actions menu. A dialog will open to select which lines should be calculated. The expected alloy prices are updated accordingly.

Tip

You can also access the Calculate Alloy Surcharge function by choosing Functions > Calculate Alloy Surcharge on the Components FastTab.

Recalculate alloy surcharges after item replacement

If an item has been replaced in the BoQ Budget Calculation line due to running the Search and Replace Components function, the alloy surcharges will be automatically recalculated.

View alloy statistics

Alloy Statistics show the total calculated alloy surcharges (total alloy weight (kg) and expected alloy amount) for each alloy type assigned in the BoQ Budget Calculation.

To access the Alloy Statistics page, choose Related > Alloy Statistics on the BoQ Budget Calculation page, Related > Construction Work > Alloy Statistics on the BoQ/PaC Project Card/Projects list, or Related > Alloy Statistics on the BoQ Position List page.
