Using Bulk Field Change for Costing/Rate calculations
An optional way of adding or adjusting the Mark-up is to add a range of items to the selection set (identified by a red tick in the Tree View explorer pane) and then selecting the bulk change menu followed by the costing item.
The Bulk Change Costing dialogue can be used to add money to a particular cost group for the selected items (as explained on page 29), to set/re-set a net rate factor or to make changes to net rate calculations.
This allows added margin to be spread across a selection of selected BoQ items or sections, giving a quick method of making final adjustments to the Tender Value before finalising the document. Remember that inclusion into a Selection Set can be achieved by way of a filter so that, for example, items of certain Cost Group(s) or BoQ sections can be included in the bulk change thus allowing additional margin to be biased to Cost Groups or BoQ section(s) rather than a constant percentage applied across the whole Tender.
