Job Budget Lines Sub-Tab

This section includes the fields and descriptions for the Job Budget Lines sub-tab.

Field	Description
Description	In this field, you enter a text, which is attached to the activity on quotes and order confirmations.
External Description	In this field, you enter a text, which can be multiline.
Line Type	In this pop-up field, you select the type of the current job budget line. Selecting a value is mandatory.
Task	In this field, you can specify the task to which the job budget line is to be assigned.
Empl. Cat. No.	In this field, you can assign a certain employee category to the job budget. If no specific employee has been specified for this line, Maconomy will instead use the cost, intercompany or billing price for the specified employee category for price calculations, if the field “Hourly Rate” in the window System Information in the Set-Up module has been set to “By Employee” or “Employee Priority.”
Quantity	In this field, you enter the budgeted quantity for the line.
Quantity, Days	The functionality of this field is similar to that of the field “Quantity” above. However, this field only applies to time activities, and you enter the budgeted quantity as a number of days instead of a number of hours. If you enter a number of days, it is automatically converted into a number of hours which is inserted in the field “Quantity.” The number of hours is calculated by multiplying the number of days by the value in the field “Hours per Man Day” in the card part of the window Jobs.
Act. No.	In this field, you enter the number of the activity for which you wish to make a budget estimate. If both this field and the field “Task” are blank, the line is a text line. If this field shows “*,” the line is a summary line which creates a subtotal when the budget is printed using the “Standard” layout.
Cost, Base	In this field, you enter the budgeted cost in the base currency for one unit of the activity on the budget line. For a further descrip­tion of how Maconomy calculates these prices, please refer to “Appendix A: Price Calculation in the Job Cost module.”
Cost Per Day, Base	This field only applies to time activities. The field shows the value in the field “Cost, Base” converted into a cost per day. The value is calculated by multiplying the value in the field “Cost, Base” by the value specified in the field “Hours per Man Day” for the current job in the window Jobs.
Billing Price, Curr.	In this field, you enter the budgeted billing price in the job’s currency of one unit of the activity on the budget line. If the activity is non-invoiceable, you cannot enter a price here, and the value must be “0.00.
Billing Price Per Day, Currency	This field only applies to time activities. The field shows the value in the field “Billing Price, Currency” converted into a billing price per day. The value is calculated by multiplying the value in the field “Billing Price, Currency” by the value specified in the field “Hours per Man Day” for the current job in the window Jobs.
Markup %	In this field, you enter the budgeted gross margin % for the activity on the budget line.
Line Specific Billing Price	If the current job is set up for price control from budgets (see “Price control from budgets”), this field indicates if the billing price differs from the price originally derived from the employee category on the current line. If the line is not marked, the price is the original price.
Total Cost, Base	This field shows the total estimated cost in base currency for the budget line. The total cost is found by multiplying the number in the “Quantity” field by the cost per piece in the “Cost” field.
Total Billing Price, Currency	This field shows the budget lines total budgeted billing price in the job currency. The total billing price is calculated by multiplying the number in the “Quantity” field by the billing price per piece in the “Billing Price, Currency” field.
Purchase Currency	In this field, you can select a currency. Depending on whether you have entered the cost in base currency or in another currency, the value is calculated in the “Cost, Base” field or the “Cost, Purchase Currency” field by means of this currency. If another currency is subsequently selected, the value in the “Cost, Purchase Currency” field is then recalculated. For a further description of how Maconomy calculates these prices, please refer to “Appendix A: Price Calculation in the Job Cost Module.” If the job budget is structured hierarchically, selecting a purchase currency on a group header line makes it possible to see the total purchase amount for the subordinate lines in a specific currency.
Cost, Purchase Currency	In this field, you can enter or see the cost in the currency selected in the field “Purchase Currency.” If you enter a value here, the value in the field “Cost, Base” will be calculated.
Total Cost, Purchase Currency	In this field, you can see the total budgeted cost in the current job’s currency. The total cost price is calculated by multiplying the figure in the field “Quantity” by the cost per unit in the field “Cost, Purchase Currency.”
Billing Price, Purchase Currency	If you want to enter the billing price in another currency than the job’s currency, you can use this field.
Billing Price Per Day, Purchase Currency	If you want to enter the billing price in another currency than the job’s currency, you can use this field. Maconomy uses the currency specified in the field “Purchase Currency” for converting the amount to the job currency, using the current exchange rate table for purchase at the time of entry. If you change the currency later, Maconomy will recalculate the contents of this field. See also the description of the field “Billing Price, Currency.” For a further description of how Maconomy calculates these prices, please refer to “Appendix A: Price Calculation in the Job Cost Module.”
