Cost Build Up

Costs for any intervention can be overridden from any calendar view.

note

The workbank must have been cached at least once for this option to be available.

Cost Build Up can be found by selecting an intervention, selecting Cost Build Up

A rate book is available within whereby you can look up the source information underlying the costs in use by your intervention.

Cost Build Up

Select an intervention, then select Cost Build Up.

The intervention cost table will be displayed, showing all costs associated with that intervention.

Add New Costs

To add a new cost, select the Add New Cost button to open the add cost modal.

Search for the item by using the RMM item search then enter the quantity and rate.

To add the item, click Add To Table.

To save changes, click Save at the botton of the override direct costs modal.

Edit Costs

To edit quantity or rate for an item, click on the total cost for that item line to unlock the fields.

Once the new data has been entered, the line item will be highlighted in orange.

To revert any chances to a line item, select the Revert Changes icon.

To save changes, click Save at the botton of the modal.

Delete Costs

To delete an eligible cost, select the Delete Cost icon in the Cost Build Up modal, then confirm the deletion.

To save changes, click Save at the bottom of the modal.

If delivery information or estimates exist for the intervention, Cost Build Up only allows existing cost adjustments to be removed. Generated cost lines cannot be deleted directly, so their Delete Cost icon is not available. For example, an MCBAddOn line may still be displayed as part of the unit-rate cost calculation, even though it cannot be deleted here.

A recorded BP estimate is maintained separately; Cost Build Up lines are not automatically added on top of it. The estimate may have been populated from the unit-rate forecast or otherwise include the cost. Check the basis of the estimate and confirm the amount and financial year or period to remove before amending it.

To propose an amendment to the recorded BP estimate:

1. Find the intervention on the rollout calendar and open its menu.
2. Select Delivery, then BP Costs & Volumes.
3. Find the intervention and select the pencil in the Edit BP column.
4. In Propose Change, expand BP Costs & Volumes.
5. Enter the agreed revised cost for the relevant year or period, then check the New AFC and Change.
6. Enter a Change Explanation, complete the required notification details, and select Propose or Propose & Approve, as appropriate for your permissions and approval process.
