View Item History

Description

This function is part of the Contractor Services subsystem and allows the user to view the Project Item History report, which displays information on work order item quantity changes that have occurred to project items defined within the initial project scope or added as extra work items. Project item quantities are affected by the estimate and by approved work orders. Work Orders can increase or decrease the current quantity. Estimates can increase or decrease the used and available quantities, for example, used quantity is increased by a positive estimate, but is decreased by a negative estimate. This report is for a specific item number and includes sections for each item type (for the specified number) that exists on the given project. The Project Item History screen is accessible when the user clicks the Item History icon that appears to the right of an item number on the following screens: Work Order Items list, Estimate Items list, Construction Items list. This Help document explains how to access the item history screen from the Construction Project Information screen.

Note: The history presented on this screen is for the specified project and does not represent historical price data across projects.
