Costed Line Items in the Grid

The option of “Insert Costed Line Items…” allows you to add Costed Line Items for a Line Item. Clicking this option will launch the CBS Picker window. Multiple CBS Codes can be selected.

The number of Costed Line Item inserted depends on the number of codes selected in the CBS Picker window. After you insert the Costed Line Items, along with the CBS codes, you can edit the rest of fields according to the Cost Line Item Type that these Costed Line Items belong to.

Line Numbers for the Costed Line Items follow the parent number (+ 1,2,3,4 etc.).

Example

If parent line item has a Line No. of 1, then the subsequent Costed Line Items have the numbers of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and so forth.

Note: The Line Item numbers are generated after you click Save.

Both the Summary Line Item and the Costed Line Item are indented on the page. The Summary Line Item has the option of Expand and Collapse.

The "Short Description" field is auto-populated from the Short Description field in the parent Line Item.

If you insert a blank Line Item through a key action, and there are no rows after the inserted row in the Grid, then the inserted row will be a Costed Line Item. If you want to change the next Line Item to a Summary Line Item, then you must insert the Line item by clicking the Gear menu and select the option “Insert Line Items…” The "Add Remaining" option is disabled for the Costed Line Item.
