Defining your Client Cost Category Schedule
You are able to define a fully customised Cost Category Schedule for each Client in WebCert once the Client has been created.
This identifies ALL the Cost Groups and Cost Summary Items within of these groups that you may wish to use across ANY project set up for this Client.
You can add and remove (subject to specific limitations) any of the Cost Groups or Summary Items at any time with the option to reflect such changes in your projects.
Each Programme created for the Client will inherit the Cost Category Schedule as defined at the time of creating the Programme. Change to the Cost Category Schedule may be optionally included in any of the Programmes.
Each Project you create will then inherit the Cost Category Schedule as defined for the Project's parent Programme. You can optionally choose to include any changes to the parent Programme within you Project.
The default Cost Category Schedule created by the system for each newly created Client will contain the following basic Cost Groups and Cost Summary Items.
Cost Group | Cost Summary Item |
Contract Cost | Provisional Sum |
| Variations |
Risk Items | Contingency |
You define your Cost Schedule by identifying how you wish to group Cost and Sub Cost Items (these are the items against which you raise Claims to Date) within each Summary Item.
Special Note:
- The order of items can be customised later from the Budget Summary view
- The group Contract Cost contains all costs relating to your Contract and only these costs can have variations raised against them.
- Additional Sources of Funds can be added as separate Summary items in the group Risk Items
- Provisional Variations can only be raised against those Cost Items within Provisional Sum
Setting up of the actual Cost and Sub Cost Items is completed once you have created your project.
