BoQ Structure
For jobs with Structure Type = Bill of Quantities (BoQ) you need to create a BoQ structure with the specification based on the BoQ elements. This is handled by using the BoQ Budget Calculation page.
BoQ Elements
The fields in the following table, along with the standard Description, Quantity, and Unit of Measure Code fields, define a BoQ structure.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| BoQ Position No. | Specifies the number of a BoQ position which is referenced in different processes, e.g., in a Sales Quote. The BoQ Position No. can be entered manually (if Free ON Allowed is enabled) or by using the Set BoQ Position No. action. |
| BoQ Position Type | Specifies the position type and defines the specification. The options are: - Group: used for grouping the positions in a hierarchy. - Normal: used for common sales positions. - Optional: used for additional sales positions that are not required. - Alternative: provides a different option for another sales position. - Text: used for general text that is not a sales position. |
| BoQ Price Type | Indicates whether the total price of the BoQ position is calculated in the total amount of the job. If set to Without Total, the values in the Sales Line Amount, Sales Line Amount Budget (LCY), Total Price, and Total Price Budget (LCY) fields are hidden. |
BoQ Text
BoQ lines that are set up as BoQ Position Type = Text can have additional properties:
- Contract Rule – Specifies if the Text position is marked as a Contract Rule. This is usually defined at the beginning or at the end of a BoQ structure.
- Short Text – Defaults from the Description of the line.
- Long Text – Specifies the content of service that is included with this BoQ position.
Create BoQ Positions
You can enter BoQ Positions quickly as a group, sub-group, normal position, or text position in the BoQ Budget Calculation.
On the Actions menu, choose Create Structure to access the different actions. When creating these BoQ structures, the only limitations are when creating a:
- Group, Normal position or Text position, you must be at the same level as the source position or below a BoQ group.
- Sub Group, you must be on a line set with BoQ Position Type = Group.
A default BoQ Position Component Code can be specified in the Project Construction Setup page.
