New options in contextual menus
The contextual menus appear on-screen when a field, containing a contextual menu, is clicked on using the right mouse button. Within the Decomposition tree window, new options have been implemented in the contextual menus of some concepts to contemplate the three complete price structures (Budget, Sale and Study), that exist in the 2013.e version. The implemented options are:
- Fix price
This option is located in the contextual menu that appears when the right mouse button is clicked on the (budget, sale or study) price or cost field of a job item with decomposition. The price of the selected concept becomes editable data, and so no longer depends on its decomposition. At the same time, all its decomposition lines are deactivated (not deleted), including those which can be added later on to the concept. The concept will not be considered in the same way as one that does not have a decomposition for when calculating the indirect expenses (unjustified job items), in reports and when exporting to other formats.
If a price is fixed using this option, 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 "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 "Deactivated quantity".
The fixed price can be unblocked using the Unblock price option, located in the contextual menu that appears on screen after having fixed the price, and is detailed in the following point.
This option is the same option that appears in the dialogue box when the Price field is modified, and has been explained in detail in the Modification of the budget price, sale price and study price in job items or auxiliary prices with decomposition section of this webpage.
- Unblock fixed price
This option is located in the contextual menu that appears when the right mouse button is clicked on the (budget, sale or study) price or cost field of a job item with a fixed price. This option unblocks the fixed price so it can be recalculated in accordance with the decomposition contained in the price structure to which it belongs.
- Job item revision marks
This option is located in the contextual menu that appears when the right mouse button is clicked on any field of any job item. This option already existed in previous versions. When selected, the Change of data revision marks of a job item dialogue box opens. The 2013.e version includes two new revision marks for job items: With sale quantity pending revision and With study quantity pending revision.
