Reprice Estimate from Database command

Use this command to update an estimate by replacing the prices of items for selected categories with the current prices from the standard database. This process changes the date shown in the spreadsheet and the Detail window.

Open the Reprice Estimate from Database window in one of the following ways:

  • On the ribbon, from the Repricing group on the Takeoff tab, click From Database.
  • In classic view, click PricingReprice Estimate from Database.

For new categories assigned to items in the standard database after takeoff, Sage Estimating (SQL) adds the category price, order units, and conversion/productivity factor to the estimate.

The command opens a window where you can set up processing and reporting options. You have the option of updating all linked prices.

Caution! This process makes permanent changes to the standard database. Before you update prices, Sage recommends performing a backup of your estimate.
