You can add general items that do not belong with scope items. General items are costed similarly to scope items, but cannot be broken down into sub and detail items. For example, you might consider some costs, such as freight or taxes, as general, rather than scope items.
To add general items:
In the procurement item, click the Bid Tabulation tab and click Add next to General Items to open the Add General Item Dialog Box.
From the Cost Code drop-down list, select the cost code for the general item.
In the Title field, enter the title for the general item.
Enter the Quantity and Unit Price information.
Add any comments to the Comments field.
Click Save and Add Another to add more general items or click Save and Close when finished.
