Viewing Estimated Costs

The Estimated Costs column in the Job Status window contains the original estimated cost or budget for the job, plus any estimated costs from posted change orders. You can revise these estimates. Maintaining a history of both estimated costs and historical costs allows you to measure the performance of your job estimators. It also allows you to confirm pricing or bidding assumptions as your company sets pricing guidelines and pursues new contracts.

1. Select Inquiry > Job Cost > Job Status.
2. Select a job and zoom on an estimated cost element.
3. To revise estimated costs, see Revising Estimated Costs.
