Apply Cost Information to an Assembly Item

You can enter new unit cost information for an individual item type, and apply the new cost to all assembly items that contain the item as a component. This feature is available only for assembly items because assemblies cannot be used as items for other assemblies.

To apply cost information to an assembly item

Select Job Cost Estimating menu > Item Pricing Maintenance.
In the Item Code field, enter the item to modify cost information for. For more information, see Item Pricing Maintenance - Fields.
Enter the appropriate information to change in the Takeoff U/M, Cost Code, and Item Type fields.
Click Apply. A mesage appears asking if you want to update all assemblies with this cost.
Click Yes to update the Item Pricing file for the item and all assemblies that contain the item.
Click No to update the Item Pricing file for the individual item only.

The assembly item cost information is updated.
