Notes:
-
The Apply Subtotal… option is only available when subtotal adjustments have not already been applied in the Summary. If this is the case, then the Apply Subtotal… option will appear grayed out. When creating a new bid, the Summaries window will also give you the following message when the highlight Summary has subtotals adjustments already applied.
-
Including Subtotal Adjustments in a Summary can be toggled while creating a new Summary. After pressing New in the Open Summary window, select the Level Adjustment tab and de-select the Subtotal option. This activates the Apply Subtotal… option when highlighting a Bid Summary using that particular Summary file.
-
If you create a summary that contains “net price” items and choose to Apply Subtotal Adjustments in Bid Summary, you get a message stating, "This summary contains "net price" items. Applying Subtotal Adjustments to these items may result in incorrect prices. Are you sure you wish to continue?"
This function
is only available once a bid exists. Use this function to re-select a
Summary (or Summaries) in an existing bid. The bid will be recalculated
using the numbers from the new summaries, but entries you made in the
Bid Components will be untouched (e.g., phases, rates, quotes). You can
then reconstruct the bid as if it were a new bid. Select the Summaries
you want to include, then select this function. The program recalculates
the bid, then goes directly to the Bid Components view of the bid.
Returns the
program to the Summary window.
