Estimate Contract

Explanation

Use this activity to estimate a contract. When estimating a contract, all the lines and line items are considered. All the values will be calculated to form the total contract cost or sales value. To assist the estimator, some default values can be defined for the contract to be used on the line items. If necessary, the estimator can override the default values on the line items.

When entering the values, if the calculation type is Cost Value, the values entered will be based on cost. If the calculation type is Sales Value, the values entered will be based on the sales value.

Prerequisites

A contract must exist.
