Additional PMW Worksheet entry type

Jobpac current PMW worksheet entry type is restricted to "P" and "C". Can we introduce another "T" type for trade reserves.

Uncommitted allowances for potential costs that are likely to be incurred against a cost code. Examples include design development allowances, potential internal variations, or other likely costs. Currently, teams use either “P” or “C” to represent these, but ideally, a new ‘T’ type should be introduced to separately track trade reserves from general contingency.

    Hi Andrew Tucker,

    Adding onto this suggestion from Loards Group, we can look at setting up a desired list of categories and then update the PMW reports so they print subtotals as per the predefined categories.

    We can also ensure that the list is not limited, and each WKID can have a customer-specific list to choose from, giving flexibility for different projects.
    Cheers,
    CI

    JPC-I-1419 is also asking for additional forecast cost type, different business may have slightly different definitions / uses for this however you will find most businesses have a need for this e.g. trade reserves, unlet works, contingency etc. it is a standard addition in Cheops and Coins should be part of Jobpac too.
