QUOTED QUANTITIES

When a resource is added into a comparison the Quoted Quantity column will be pre-populated with the resource’s current Use in Project, however, an alternative value can be entered at any point.

The quoted quantity represents the quantity for each resource that the quoter will be supplying a price.

In instances where the Quoted Quantity is required to match the actual usage of a resource, you are able to use the Match Quantity function in the Quotation Comparison Resources ribbon menu.

When the Quoted Quantity is different to the Use in Project a project message will be generated to prompt for the difference to be addressed.
