TheCost Management screen is used to establish supplier costs. The selected purchasing activity in the left pane contains items found on the right side of the screen that originate in Sage Timberline Office® Estimating. Cost Management allows the user to manually add new costs as well as change or delete existing costs. To populate the screen with supplier costs, BuilderMT recommends first using the Export Costs to File function of this screen to generate a spreadsheet that the vendor can then populate with costs and send back. Upon review and approval of the costs from the builder, that completed file can then be imported into the WMS database. The software can store current, next, and future costs as well as rollover future to next cost, and next to current cost.
This screen focuses on the supplier, whether it is the selected supplier in the desktop or all suppliers associated with the selected item, along with supplier costs. Cost Management maintains costs for suppliers at the area, division or company level, allowing the flexibility to apply different costs at different levels.
