A scope item is a subset of a procurement item. Once you create a procurement item for bid, you can break it down into subsections to detail exactly what is needed. Use this dialog box to add scope items to the currently open procurement item. You can further define scope items into sub-items, and detail items below the sub-items.

Cost Code

The cost code to which this scope item applies.

Title

The name of the item.

Scope Item Cost:

Quantity

The number of items required.

U of M

The unit of measurement, if applicable.

Unit Price

The price per unit for the item.

Total Cost

The sum of all items in this document.

Sub Items

Use this section to add sub-items to the scope item, and detail items to sub items.

Note: Press F8 to add detail items to the sub-items. (Detail items do not have spec sections.)

Add Sub Item

Click to add a row to enter details on sub-items that are required as part of this scope item.

Re-Sync

Click to recalculate the values in the Total column, to make the values at the top level equal the values entered in the sub-levels.

Clicking Re-Sync "rolls up" the values from the sub-levels and recalculates the top level values. This is beneficial in instances where the top-level values were entered before the lower values, and may no longer match those values. See Procurement Overview for more information on top-down/bottom-up calculations and re-sync.

Spec Section

Select the specification section to which the sub-item applies.

Title

The name of the item.

Qty

The number of sub-items required.

U of M

The unit of measurement, if applicable.

Unit Price

The price per unit for the item.

Total

The total cost of the sub-item appears in this field.

Comments

Enter any additional comments about the sub-item.

Delete

Click to delete the item.

Comments

Enter any additional details about the scope item.
