Every Cost Sheet line has to have a Work Centre. Whether it is a normal Cost Sheet line, a SubAssembly line or a QVA line (Quote Value Adjustment). When the line is created the Work Centre can default from a number of places and can be amended if required.
It is the Work Centre on the Cost Sheet line that has a cost or revenue value that determines the Work Centre for Estimates and it is normally the Work Centre on the Actual Cost Sheet "I" & "P" line that determines the Work Centre for Procurement.

As a general rule the Work Centre that is defaulted through to every line is the Default Work Centre from the Activity Code. This is always the last priority. Following is other priority rules.

1st Priority. If there is a Work Centre entered on the Cost Sheet Header this will always be used as the default Work Centre on every Cost Sheet line in that Cost Sheet except Sub Assembly lines.

2nd Priority. If there is a Work Centre code on Bill of Material Lines these will be used as the default Work Centre on every Sub Assembly transaction in the quote.

3rd Priority. Where you choosing an Item the Work Centre that is defaulted through is the Default Work Centre from the Activity Code on that Item.
These are the default Work Centre Values and can be maintained.

The Work Centre on the QVA is the default Work Centre for the Activity code set up in the Control Parameter. QVA is always treated as revenue

WORK CENTRES FOR THE ESTIMATE
If there is a Cost or Sell value on a Cost Sheet line (including a normal Cost Sheet line, a SubAssembly line or a QVA line) the Work Centre for that line will be the Work Centre in the Estimate.

EXCEPTIONS:

  • Sub Assembly with "Use Pricing" ticked. (For Revenue only) "Use Revenue Estimate" will also be ticked.
    It uses the Work Centre from the SubAssembly Header.

Sub Assembly with "Use Revenue Estimate" ticked.

  • It uses the Work Centre from the SubAssembly Header.

Sub Assembly with "Use Cost Estimate" ticked.

  • It uses the Work Centre from the SubAssembly Header.

WORK CENTRES FOR THE PROCUREMENT

  • If there is an "I" or "P" on a Cost Sheet line the Work Centre for that line will be the Work Centre in Procurement. (note: SubAssembly lines cannot have "I" lines)

EXCEPTIONS:

Quote Header Invoice ticked. This will use the Work Centre of the Activity Code relating to the Default ItemID set up in the Control Parameter. The quote header will include the QVA. Cost Sheet Invoice ticked. This uses:

  • Firstly the Work Centre on the Cost Sheet. Or if this field is null
  • The Work Centre of the Activity Code relating to the Default ItemID set up in the Control Parameter for the creation of the "I" line in Procurement.
  • If you want the QVA to sell as an "I" line you will need to tick Cost Sheet Invoice on the Cost Sheet Header for the QVA. This will use the Work Centre of the Activity Code relating to the Default ItemID set up in the Control Parameter. (It would be our suggestion that you would not make a QVA an "I" line as you wouldn't sell an "adjustment" to a client. This would probably be included in an Invoiced Quote Header only.)
