8.02.01 Stock & Clean Indirect Expenses

To access Bid related stocking or cleaning costs, open the Markups Detail from the Markups Tab, and click on the Stock or Clean button on the left side of the dialog box. This is where bid-level Stocking and/or Cleaning costs are configured.

The Stock and Clean Indirect Expense tabs are identical in layout but, because they can apply to different costs, need to be configured separately. "Clean" can be substituted for "Stock" for the remainder of this article.

Calculating Stock or Clean

Stock can be calculated by the quantity or cost of the material or by labor hours. The grid below explains what each of the fields on the Stock tab mean - depending on the Calculation Method and Results chosen, the fields change. Below the grid are detailed explanations of each of the Calculation/Result options.

Field	Description
Mat. (Material) Cost Code	Displays all of the Material Cost Codes used in the selected Section.
Quantity	Quantity displays the Section quantity total for each Material Cost Code. The Quantity column is available only when Calculation Method is set to Material Quantity. Read Only.
Percent	Visible when Calculation Method is Material Cost or Labor Hours. When both the 'Calculation Method' and 'Show results as' are set to Material Cost, enter the percent of cost for stock or cleaning cost. The Cost is then multiplied by this percent to come up with a Total Cost (of the Indirect Expense). When the Calculation Method is set to Labor Hours, enter in the percent of Labor Hours that is the cost of Indirect Expense - Stock. The Hours are then multiplied by this percent to come up with a Total Hours.
Cost	Visible when Calculation Method is Material Quantity. Cost applies a fixed dollar value to the Quantity (for example, if Quantity is "1,000" and Cost is ".05", the Total Cost (of the IE) is "50.00".
Total Cost	Total Cost displays the Total Stock Cost for the Material Cost Code.
Cost Code	Enter the Cost Code to which Stock or Clean Indirect Expense is applied.
Installers	Visible when 'Results' is 'Labor Cost'. Click the Lookup tool to choose an Installer.
Wage Type	Visible when 'Results' is 'Labor Cost'. Click the drop down to select a Wage Type.

It is not necessary to apply Indirect Expenses to every Material Cost Code - only those that require Stocking or Cleaning.

Calculate Indirect Expense by Labor Hours

The Labor Hours calculation method calculates the percentage of how much it costs to stock or clean the job based on the amount of Labor hours required to complete the activity.

Results must be shown as Labor Cost.

These calculations are based on the values in Default Indirect Expenses but can be changed after the project starts bidding.

When calculating Indirect Expenses with a Labor result, it is necessary to setup each Wage Type separately. Settings for one Wage Type (Union, for example) would not be applied to labor expenses calculated under a different Wage Type (Open, for example).
