Enter Preliminary Planned Cost

Explanation

When a part is added as a miscellaneous demand, the planned cost and hours are automatically reported to the activity depending on the part type, costing setup, supplier prices, posting controls and cost element setup. You can change the planned cost and hours as required if there are changes to supplier prices, costing and inventory values and cost element setup.

You can right-click and select the Update Planned Cost and Hours menu option to get the price for the part according to the changes in Part Costing. You will get any changes done to the hours related to the cost elements connected to the part as well when this option is executed.

You can override the planned cost with the supplier price from the quotation which exists in the project. If the Supplier Agreement or Purchase Order is approved, the supplier price will automatically be updated with this approved value. If not, you can right-click on the Project Delivery/Quotation List tab and select the Get Best Supplier Price menu option to manually update the supplier price. The lowest supplier price will be updated when there is more than one supplier listed.

You can also check this price for selected demands by selecting the right mouse button menu option Get Supplier Price in the Demand tab.
