Entering Takeoff Information

Access the Takeoff Maintenance form.

Use the takeoff detail lines to select specific items and then calculate the quantities of those items.

Community

Enter a community number. If you enter a wildcard in this field, you must also enter a wildcard in the Phase field. The system validates the cost code with the area job.

Plan

Enter a plan number. If you enter a wildcard in this field, you must also enter a wildcard in the Elevation and Swing fields.

Item Number

Enter the 8-digit, computer-assigned number that identifies the item.

Quantity

Enter the quantity of units that are assigned to this takeoff.

Sub Item No (substitute item number)

Enter the number of an item that is identified as a substitute for the input or standard item number. During the Lot Start process, the takeoff master record of the input item uses the quantity calculated for the substitute item.

Est. Takeoff Flag (estimated takeoff flag)

Enter a code that specifies whether to verify an actual quantity. Use this field for trades such as concrete, for which the quantity can be estimated only until the work has been performed. Values are:

Blank: Verify (default).

1: Do not verify.

During the Lot Start process, the system posts the takeoff record with only the estimated amounts.
