Editing an Estimate

To edit a resource estimate, complete the following steps:

  1. Select the field you want to edit.

  2. Make the change. When you change a field value, MPM changes the color of the resource estimate field text to blue indicating the estimate has been changed but not saved.

  1. To save the change, do one of the following:

  2. Click on another row in the window.

  3. Click image\winm0083_wmf.gif Save

  4. Click File » Save

  5. Press Ctrl+S

  1. You may be prompted to confirm the save and asked if you want to save the changes to the ETC. For information on the Save options, see Saving Estimates.

  2. If you do not want to save the changes, press Esc.

When you modify an estimate, all of the values are re-priced based on the current Global rates. The displayed values will be maintained and MPM will calculate the others. EQP is the exception. EQP will always recalculate based on hours, even if you are viewing EQP values.
