Bid Management

 

Bid Management is a package of capabilities designed to aid those of you who go out to bid for your jobs and, once the bids are in, compile all the bids of you subs and vendors into an estimate.

 
The first thing you will have to do is Add a Job. At any time thereafter you can click on the Order Processing button. 

Once on the Order Processing screen, you add a Request for Quotation, selecting the vendor and the job. 

 
Your next step is to add a line item to the RFQ. Click on the Add Line Item  button and you are presented with 5 choices of processes.

 
If you have maintained an inventory in the system, you can add a line item that matches an inventory item just by clicking on Inventory and select the item. 

 
There are 2 options for entering ad-hoc types of lines.  The first has a product type and some text while the other is as much text as you might need.

 

The Labor Item and Materials options operate the same way.  They give you the opportunity to select a type such as Electrician or 2 x 4.

 

 
You are then presented with the screen which offers only the items from the Working Cost Database that contain a reference to the type you selected and allows you checking on as many items as necessary and pressing the Save button. Let us say we are doing the master RFQ for the Electrical for the Kitchen Remodel.

 
Selecting all the items we need from the Labor Items and/or the Materials, we can build that electrical RFQ.

Once you have built the RFQ for a specific type of vendor you can click on the Save as Template button.

 
Creating the same RFQ for many vendors means only adding a new RFQ document and select the vendor and job. You then click on the Add from Template button.

 
Click on the template name and then click on the Apply to RFQ button and the items are brought into the new RFQ.

 

 
After all the RFQ's are created and mailed or emailed you will get the bids from your vendors and modify the RFQ's. 

When that process is finished or any time during that process you can click on the Add from RFQ's button.

 
You are presented with a list of all the RFQ's for the job.  Check the ones you accept and then click on the Add button and all the line items from each RFQ checked will be added to the estimate.

 
At any time after creating your first RFQ You will have the opportunity to enter that portion of the system from the Administration, Bid Management option on the main menu.

 

You will be presented with a list of all RFQ's (type R) and Purchase Orders (type P) and the job they are attached to. 

 

Click on he heading to sort by that and double click on the one that you want
