What to do if a Price List is updated on your Job

Sometimes while working on a job, the price list/rate card applied to the job may be changed or updated.

This could be for a number of reasons e.g. the wrong price list/rate card was selected at job opening, activities on the price list/rate card were added or updated etc.

If this happens, it is very important to refresh the data on your job to reflect the correct new or updated price list/rate card.

REFRESHING PRICE QUOTE DATA

In order to make any changes to the price quote, the price quote status will need to be set to 'under preparation'.

If your price quote has already been ‘externally approved' by the client, you will need to either leave the price quote as is as it’s already been signed off at the original price, or create a new price quote for the client with the updated rates.

  • In the jobs module > jobs list > select the job that needs updating

  • Go to the price sub menu > change the price quote status to ‘under preparation’

  • In the pop-up select the values that need to be updated

  • Click ok

  • Your price list values should now be updated in line with the job’s price list/rate card

  • Once you are happy with your price quote, you can follow your agency’s approval process


REFRESHING SCHEDULE DATA

If you have a schedule/timeline on the job and have assigned resources, you will also need to update the values according to the new/updated price list.

  • In the jobs module > jobs list > select the job that needs updating

  • Go to the task sub menu > tasks tab

  • Click the ‘update task data’ icon > select ‘update prices to match current job price list’

This can also be done via the Grid view if that is your preference.

Sometimes the values can take a while to refresh.


REFRESHING TIME ENTRY DATA

If there are time entries on your job that have been registered with the wrong values, you will need to update these as well.

  • Go to the jobs module > jobs list

  • Select the job that needs updating > click the costs sub menu
