Managing Manufactured Estimates

When you are processing a manufactured estimate, you can use the menu options on the Estimate Manufactured Job Entry screen to perform various tasks including saving and printing the estimate, editing the estimate lines, and creating and maintaining the estimate stages.

Display the Manufactured Estimate Information screen for the estimate you want to manage.

Refer to "Maintaining the Manufactured Estimate Header".

Select the Accept button or press F2 to proceed.

Micronet displays the Estimate Manufactured Job Entry screen.

This screen displays the following fields:

	Field	Value
	Dept Number	Micronet displays the ID and name of the department for the selected estimate.
	Est Number	Micronet displays the estimate number.
	[Estimate Description]	Micronet displays up to two lines of estimate details.

Technical Tip

Your rate codes are set on the Enter Rate Names screen in company configuration (refer to "Edit - Applications - MJC - General"). If you want the job screen to display the rate name rather than the rate code, right click in the select box at the bottom of the screen and select EDIT SELECT BOX. Double click on the JT_OTRATE field and set the Convert Char field to Yes.

For more information about editing select boxes, refer to "Customising Transaction Entry Screens".

	Rate	Micronet displays the unit rate for each line.
