Job Elements

This page shows the Elements selected for the Job. The Job Elements are selected from the Element repository

With these Job Elements a cost breakdown structure can be created as an alternative to the standard Job Tasks breakdown or the activity breakdown structure based on Job Activities. The Job Element page can be structured in a similar way as the Job Tasks by using the Job Element Type (Posting, Heading, Total, Begin-Total and End-Total) where the Totalling field is used as a filter to create (sub)-totals per End-Total and Total fields. The Budget -, Actual -, ETC -, and Forecast Cost fields show the totals for the Job Tasks with the same Job Element number. The variance -, and progress % are retrieved from the Job Summary.

  • Variance % = Budget / Forecast
  • Progress % = Actuals / Forecast

Note: Once specified for the Job, Job Elements have to be used on all Job Tasks and Job Budget and Job Planning Lines.
