Below are the notable changes to the Company level Cost Catalog tool.
Note: See Estimating Release Notes for related release notes.
A 'Taxable' field is now available when adding or editing a cost catalog item in the Cost Catalog tool. See Add Items to the Cost Catalog. Previously, the material tax was applied by default and could only be changed in the Estimating tool. The 'Taxable' field has also been extended to XLS files for bulk updates to cost catalog items. See Import Cost Catalog Items.
The 'Labor' cost catalog type can now be selected for assemblies in the Cost Catalog. Previously, the ability to account for labor in the Cost Catalog and Estimating tools was limited. This release provides more flexibility and helps to ensure that estimates are accurately represented. See Create Assemblies for a Cost Catalog.
In addition to Minutes, Hours, and Days, you can now use Weeks and Months to measure labor. See Add Items to a Cost Catalog.
A 'EPD url' field has been added to the Catalog Details section of a cost catalog item. See Add Items to a Cost Catalog. 'EPD' is used for environmental declarations that are published online.
