Structural Elements (tpest1120m000)
Use this session to display the structural element and to maintain their estimate settings. On the Specific menu, you can choose the project-related structure type or a user-defined structure to generate new structural elements and/or maintain data. This session also allows you to view the physical breakdown structure of the selected structural elements in a tree view. See Tree Detail session.
Field Information
- Project
-
The code that identifies the project.
- Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Project
-
The project status.
- Version
-
The code that identifies the estimate version.
- Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Version Status
-
The status of the estimate version.
Note: If the status is Blocked it implies that the estimate project is copied to a project. You can maintain the estimate in the new project. - Structure ID
-
The code of the estimate-version structure.
- Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Structure Type
-
For an estimate version, you can define eight structures: one primary and seven additional structures. The primary structure used to define the estimate. One of the additional estimate-version structures can be used to sort estimate lines. The grouping of structural elements creates an extra view. Each estimate version can only have one of each of the project-related structure types.
- Structural Element
-
The structural element.
- Description
-
The description or name of the code.
- Parent Element
- Leading Estimate Type
-
The leading estimate type. Because you can have lines of both types related to the same primary structural element, this setting indicates which lines are used for estimate calculations.
- Level for Launch
-
Because you can have estimate lines of several level types for the same primary structural element, this parameter determines which estimate lines are launched to a project budget. For example, if the level type is Total, all the estimate lines with the Total level type are launched to the budget.
- Cost Level
-
The level type determines which lines are aggregated in the Estimate Lines (tpest2100m000) session for the Bottom Up estimate type.
- Sales Level
-
The level type determines which lines are aggregated in the Estimate Lines (tpest2100m000) session for the bottom-up estimate type and the sales totals.
