Overview

Use Estimate Update to Jobs to update information from an estimate to the Job to create a new job. The new job is updated with the constant data information and the total estimated costs and units for each cost code/cost type and job estimate memo, if applicable. You can proceed with the update only if a job has been entered.

Note You cannot have two jobs with the same number. If you enter an existing job number, you are prompted that the job number is currently active.

Note An estimate that has been updated to a job also remains as a Job Estimate. Estimates are retained for future reference unless you use the Delete option in Job Estimate Maintenance to remove them.

You can modify the estimate unit, cost, and memo information updated to the new job in the Cost Code Detail window.

When you proceed with the update, the description and constant data information for the estimate updates to the new job, and the total estimate units and cost information are updated to the Cost Code Detail records for the job.
