Updating part costs using the takeoff vendor

Note: This functionality is available only if you have the Estimating Module.

You can update part costs in a takeoff grid or an entire takeoff. Sage 100 Contractor updates the costs in the takeoff from the parts database for the vendor assigned to a particular part for that takeoff.

Important! Before saving, review the changes. After you save, you cannot reverse the update.

To update the part cost using the takeoff vendor:

Open a takeoff in 9-5 Takeoffs.

To update a specific grid, do the following:

In the Bid Item list, select the bid item.

In the Phase list, select the phase.

In the Update menu, point to Grid, then point to Prices from Parts Database, then click Based on Takeoff Vendors.

To update the entire takeoff, on the Update menu, point to Takeoff, then point to Prices from Parts Database, then click Based on Takeoff Vendors.

A message appears with the following details about the update, prompting you to continue:

Part prices for the grid are updated based on the assigned vendor’s price for the part.
If the part is not found in the database, then no changes are made to that part.
If the assigned vendor’s price is zero and the part cost default exists for the part, then that cost is used.
For all other instances, no changes are made to that part’s price.
