Repricing the estimate using factor tables

You can adjust an estimate by multiplying item prices by factors stored in a factor table. For example, you could reprice an estimate to reflect the cost difference for various locations or currencies, or you could multiply item prices by adjustment or productivity factors.

Caution!

Repricing your estimate using a factor table may result in invalid pricing data if you have applied a factor table to your standard database using Means Integrator.
Sage Estimating (SQL) automatically reprices amounts entered manually in the spreadsheet.

To preserve manually entered productivity and price factors when you apply a factor table, in the Options window, select the Do not reprice prices and factors marked as manually adjusted check box.
Sage Estimating (SQL) does not reprice items in an estimate if their phase codes are not listed in the factor table.

To reprice the estimate using a factor table:

Open the Factor Table List window as follows:
- On the ribbon, from the Repricing group on the Takeoff tab, click From Factor Table.
On the Factor Table List window, select the factor table you want to use to reprice the estimate. To return the items in the estimate to their original standard database prices, select Base Price.
Click [OK]. Sage Estimating (SQL) reprices the estimate.

Notes:

You can also reprice an estimate by assigning it a factor table on the Main tab of the Estimate Information window.
You can view factors and base prices in the estimate, by selecting the corresponding option in the Spreadsheet Layout window. For more information, see Setting up a spreadsheet layout.
