Verify Top-Down Estimate Consistency (tpest2220m000)

Use this session to verify whether the top-down estimate based on the primary structure is consistent; either for the specified substructure or the entire structure. Click Details to select the structure size. A check of the top-down consistency is performed only for one estimate version per check.

The check is performed in the following order using the level type of the Estimate Lines (tpest2100m000) session:

For the Total option, the check finds out whether the total amount of the structural element does not exceed the parent structural element’s amount.
For the Cost Type option, the check finds out whether the amount does not exceed the total amount of the same structural element.
For the Detail option, the check finds out whether lines with the same cost type are less than or equal to the Cost Type amount.
For the Other Structure option, the same rule applies as for the Detail option.

Field Information

Project: The code that identifies the project.
Description: The description or name of the code.
Project Status: project status
Version: The code that identifies the estimate version.
Version Status: The status of the estimate version.

Include 'Out of Scope' Primary Structural Elements Also: If this check box is selected, all the structural elements of the primary structure, even the elements out of scope, are selected for the top-down estimate.
Create Process Log: If this check box is selected, a process log is created in the Message Log (tpest0505m000) session, with the origin of the errors and warnings.
Include Warnings: If this check box is selected, all warnings are displayed, including non-blocking warnings. A non-blocking warning is, for example, that top-down child elements have an amount less than the parent element. This information is not incorrect, but is worthwhile knowing.
