| Estimated Value |
The estimated cost for the recommended service. To calculate this value, the system uses the average cost of the history entries associated to the selected job code, plus the total price of any parts on the job code. The number of history entries the system uses to calculate the average job code cost is configured in the Service Agreement Management Flatrate History Search Entries field of the System Settings. For example, if the value in this field is 10, the system uses the last 10 history entries (starting from the most recent) to calculate the average cost. To calculate the part price, the system uses the list price of the part (as specified in the Master Price File) divided by the Parts Per Package value (as specified in the PARTMAST file/ parts profile). This price is added to the average cost of the job code to calculate the Estimated Value. If there are no history entries for the selected job code (or if the average cost of the history entries is zero), the system multiplies the Job Code Hours (as specified on the Job Code Details screen) by the Work Order Rate Per Hour for the 'PM' (planned maintenance) employee profile (as specified on the Service Information tab), then add the price of the parts associated to the job code to calculate the Estimated Value. |
