The budget price, sale price and study price of a job item or of an auxiliary price with decomposition depend on their decomposition (quantity and price of its unit items). To make it easier for users when editing the budget, sale and study price in the job items, the program allows for them to be changed without the user having to personally exclude, cancel or adjust the quantities or yields of the unit items. When a value is introduced in a budget, sale or study price of a job item or auxiliary item containing yield and price in its decomposition, the program asks the user to choose amongst three options:
- Fix price
The price of the job item or modified auxiliary item (budget, sale or study) will not depend on its decomposition. At the same time, all its decomposition lines are deactivated (not eliminated), including those which can be added later on to the concept. The concept will be taken as a concept without decomposition when calculating the indirect expenses (unjustified job items), in reports and when exporting to other formats.
If the Fix price option is selected, a mark will appear next to the price of the job item or auxiliary item that has been modified, and another next to the quantities of the unit items of its decomposition. If the cursor is placed on the price of the job item or auxiliary item, a text tag will appear indicating: "Fixed price (does not depend on its decomposition)". If it is placed on the quantities of the unit items, a text tag will appear indicating "Cancelled quantity".
The fixed price can be unblocked using the Unblock price option, located in the contextual menu that appears on screen when the price is clicked on with the right mouse button. This option reinstates the decomposition of the job item or the auxiliary item, and so the value of the price becomes dependent on this decomposition once more. - Cancel the quantities of the decomposition
The quantities and amounts of the unit items making up the price (budget, sale or study) of the job item being modified are deactivated (take a value of zero). The concept will be taken as a concept without decomposition when calculating the indirect expenses (unjustified job items), in reports and when exporting to other formats.
As the amount of the unit items is maintained, if the user introduces quantities in the decomposition, the price of the job item will once again become dependent on the decomposition. - Adjust the price
A dialogue box appears allowing the price of the decomposed price to be adjusted automatically by modifying the data of its decomposition. The concept maintains its calculated price condition in the current price structure. In the indicated dialogue, users can select the concept types of the decomposition, which are going to be altered to obtain the price adjustment.
