Recalculate Charges
Job Charges that are added or modified after the Job Budget Calculation has been created can be recalculated. There are two options for recalculating charges:
- Update Calculation action from the Actions menu on the Job Budget Calculation page
- Update Calculation action from the Job Charges page
Update Calculation
The Update Calculation function updates the existing calculation depending on the line type.
For all low level calculation lines, an Indirect Cost % can be added to the unit cost, which results in the calculated unit price.
The Extra Charge % will only be calculated for the component lines if the Default Unit Price Base field in the Project Card is Cost. In case of Price, the surcharge will be calculated based on the Unit Cost and Unit Price fields.
Job charges are set up by defining the Indirect Cost % and Extra Charge % fields by choosing the Job Charges action on the Home menu of the Project Card. These charges can be changed at any time.
In the Job Budget Calculation page, choose Functions > Update Calculation on the Actions menu to begin the update process. Depending on the line(s) selected, a selection dialog box may open first to ensure the correct line(s) are included in the update.
Select the correct option:
- Current line – only the selected line is included in the calculation
- Current line + sub-structure – the selected line and related positions/levels are included in the calculation
- All lines – all lines are included in the calculation
- Selected lines – only selected lines are included in the calculation
Note
This line selection dialog box opens during many different processes.
Choose the OK button to open the Update Calculation request page.
