    The following table contains the Markup Formulas field descriptions.

    FieldDescription

    Budget Status

    Determines the Cost Item Budget Status of the markup created. If left blank, Markups default to the primary Cost Item Budget Status related to the Budget Status on the Markup's Parent document.

    Calc on

    Select if you want to calculate this markup on self-performed work only, subcontracted work only, or both self-performed and subcontracted work.

    Calc on Budget Codes containing

    The Calc on Budget Codes Containing field refers to the Codes you want to use as inputs for the Markup. To specify a code, identify the Cost Code Segment(s) between brackets ([]) and the values between single quotes ('').

    You can use “and” and “or”, and you can use parentheses to specify an order of operations. The formula causes the markup to use Cost Items coded to all budget codes identified as its basis.

    For example, depending on the naming of your Cost Code Segments in Cost Code Templates, if you wanted your markup calculated on codes with a “Div” of “05” or “06” and a “Cost Type” of “LAB”, you would enter the formula as:

    ([Div]='05' or [Div]='06') and [Cost Type]='LAB'

    Calc on values greater than

    Enter a greater than dollar amount that you want this formula to calculate on (for example, calculate 5% fees on all change orders greater than $25,000).

    Calc on values less than

    Enter a less than dollar amount that you want this formula to calculate on (for example, calculate 3% fees on all change orders less than $24,999).

    Cost Status

    Determines the Cost Item cost Status of the markup created. If left blank, Markups default to the primary Cost Item Cost Status related to the Cost Status on the Markup's Parent document. If no Cost Status is available on the Parent document, defaults to the module customization default.

    Create Markup Item

    If unchecked, no Markup will be created but can be used for intermediate calculation.

    Description

    Name
