Disconnect from On-Screen Takeoff Bid...

 

Removes the interactive link to On-Screen Takeoff for the active Bid.

Renumber Conditions...

  • Cannot be undone - if the Bid is interactively connected to On-Screen Takeoff, this MUST be performed from On-Screen Takeoff or the Bid may become disconnected.

Refresh Material Pricing...

 

Resets Material pricing in the current Bid to the values currently stored in the Master tables.  For example, after a Bid is created you find it necessary to update material pricing in the Master Items, an estimator can apply that new pricing to the Bid easily.  Cannot be undone.

Refresh Payroll Wages...

 

Resets Payroll Wage Types and Labor Rates in the current Bid with those currently stored in the Master tables.  For example, if an estimator adds Wage Types to Payroll Settings after a Payroll Class is used in a Bid, the only way to see those Wage Types (in the existing Bid) is to use this function.  Cannot be undone.
