Usage

Use this window and its tabs to enter and revise an estimate header holding one or several top items. The estimate header is the umbrella object that holds the estimate together in terms of revision, version and status handling. An estimate is an approximation of the probable cost of a product, program or project calculated on the basis of available information.

The purpose with estimating is to establish a bid price for a quotation or a contract based on buildup of costs from a known structure of items.
