Takeoff Hierarchy

The R44H700 program searches all levels of the organizational structure of the takeoff, such as area, community, and phase, to find all material requirements. Takeoff selection is cumulative. For example, the system creates a purchase order for 3655 bricks during the Lot Start process if the following information applies:

  • Area: The area requires mail boxes to be set in brick pillars, which requires 30 bricks.

  • Community: The community has a unique pillar design, which requires 15 additional bricks.

  • Phase: The pillar in the first phase was enhanced, which requires 10 additional bricks.

  • Plan: The plan requires 1000 bricks.

  • Elevation: The elevation requires 2000 bricks.

  • Options: The homeowners selected the option for brick front steps, which require 600 bricks.

If the system selects a supplier assignment record with a national purchasing area, the system will use the associated national purchasing information, such as the national commodity item number and material pricing information.
