Select the “Edit Material Estimate” link at the bottom of the page.

The “Edit Material Estimate” page appears.

Modify the following details, if required:

Estimate No.	The number identifying the estimate for which the details are to be modified.
	Press <Enter> key.
	The system checks whether the estimate number is left blank. If it is left blank, then the system displays an error message.
	Help facility available.
Version	The number identifying the version of the estimate based on which the details are to be modified.
	Press <Enter> key.
	The system checks for the version of the estimate. If the version is left blank, then the system retrieves the estimate details for the specified estimate number and version set to “zero”. If the version is not left blank, then the system retrieves the estimate details for the specified combination of estimate number and version.

Click the “Get” pushbutton to retrieve the estimate details for the specified estimate number and version.

The system displays the following:

Status	The status of the estimate.
Estimate Date	The date on which the estimate was created.
RFQ No.	The number identifying the request for quotation.
Project	The number identifying the project.

Modify the following, if required:

Estimate Line No.	Use the drop-down list box to select the estimate line numbers defined for the selected estimate. The system displays the first line number as the default value from the “Edit Estimate” screen.
Qty. Break	Use the drop-down list box to select the quantity breaks of the estimate. You can select from "Required Quantity", "Quantity Break 1 ", "Quantity Break 2" or "Quantity Break 3". The system displays “Required Quantity “ by default on launch of the page.

Click the “Get” pushbutton to retrieve the estimate details for the estimate line number and quantity.

The system retrieves the estimate line reference product structure details and the corresponding cost details.

The system displays the following:

Estimate PS	The number identifying the product structure used for the estimate.
Item Code	The code identifying the item for which modification has to be done.
Variant Code	The code or number identifying the variant of the item.
Item Desc.	The description of the item.
	Zoom facility available.
Estimate Qty.	The estimate quantity of the item. If the quantity break is “Required Quantity”, then the system retrieves the product structure and cost details generated and sets the estimate quantity with the required quantity. Similarly, for the other options selected in the quantity breaks, the system retrieves the corresponding details and assigns the corresponding quantity to the estimate quantity.
Unit Cost	The unit cost of the items estimated. The cost represents the total cost divided by the quantity.
Total Cost	The total cost of the items estimated. The cost represents the sum of the material and process cost.
Material Cost	The material cost of the items estimated. The cost represents the sum of the standard costs of the input items of all the product structures.
Process Cost	The process cost of the items estimated. The cost represents the sum of the sub-activity times of the resources multiplied by the cost element of all the process plan.

Modify the following, if required:

Remark	The remarks relating to the estimate.
	Zoom facility available.

The system displays the following in the “Material Details” multiline:

PS Seq.

The number identifying the item sequence in the product structure.

Modify the following in the “Material Details” multiline, if required:

Item Code	The number identifying the input item.
	Help facility available.
Variant Code	The number identifying the variant of the input item.
Item Desc.	The description of the input item.
Plant	Use the drop-down list box to select the valid plants. The system retrieves the warehouse Organization Units mapped to the estimate Organization Units from the “CIM Model” business component. The system displays “First Value” by default on launch of the page.
Std. Cost	The standard cost of the input item as defined in the “Inventory Module”.

The system displays the following in the “Material Details” multiline:

Total Qty.	The total quantity of the input item. The quantity represents the sum of the setup, batch, run and scrap quantity.
UOM	The production unit of measure of the input item.
Total Cost	The total cost of the input item. The cost represents the sum of the material and process cost.

Modify the following in the “Material Details” multiline, if required:

Run Qty.	The actual quantity of the input item required during run sub-activity.
Setup Qty.	The quantity of the input item required during setup sub-activity.
Batch Qty.	The quantity of the input item required during batch sub-activity.
Scrap Qty.	The quantity of the input item that has been scraped during the activity.

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to select the material estimate for creating a new version.

Click the “Create New Version” pushbutton to create direct estimates.

The system finds the maximum of version numbers for the specified estimate number and Business Unit. It adds “1” to it to get the next version number and saves the estimate details with the new version number and sets the status of the estimate to “Draft”. Finally, refresh the screen to see the updated version number.

Check the box in the “Select” column of the multiline to select the material estimate for modifying its details.

Click the “Edit Estimate” pushbutton to modify the material estimate details.

The system checks the status of the estimate. If the status of the estimate is either “Authorized” or “Quoted”, then the estimate cannot be modified. The system ensures that at least one of the quantities of the sub-activities (Run, Setup and Batch) must be entered. The quantity specified should be greater than zero.

The process cost does not vary but the material costs would vary. For newly inserted and updated rows, the system calculates the material cost based on the existing estimate product structure for that version. The system stores the individual cost of the input items along with its quantity and also stores the estimate product structures with the input items of the product structures. To save PS Seq for the inserted rows, the system retrieves from the “Organizational Model” business component for the defined control unit of the product structure the Increment PS sequence.

For newly inserted and updated rows, If the quantity breaks are selected, then the system re-calculate the material cost of the item, using the specified quantity break as the estimate quantity. The system saves the estimate product structure details and refreshes the screen. The version number does not change and the screen can be refreshed. The system displays the total time and also calculates the total quantity.

Click the “Authorize Estimate” pushbutton to authorize the material estimate details.

To proceed, carry out the following

Select the “View Item Basic Information” link at the bottom of the page to view the basic information pertaining to the item code.

The system displays the following:

Created By	The login ID of the user who created the material estimate.
Created Date	The date on which the material estimate was created.
Last Modified By	The login ID of the user who has last modified the material estimate.
Last Modified Date	The date on which the material estimate was last modified.

Edit Material Estimate - An overview

This page can be displayed with the estimate and version details from the calling screen or can be displayed directly. You can also restrict the display of estimates for the specific estimate line number along with the quantity either required quantity or the breakup quantity.

The system retrieves the input items and the corresponding cost details associated to each estimate line reference items. For each of the input items, you can change the standard cost, run quantity, setup quantity and batch quantity details in the multiline. The material cost, unit cost and the total cost are recalculated and updated accordingly. You can also delete the selected material details in the multiline on initiating the delete operation. You have the option of creating the new version for the selected estimate and can authorize the estimate.
