Timber List
Overview
The Timber List is used to enter timber items of the job. Each Timber Group has its own selection of timber types and sizes that can have specific supplier rates allocated. Timber items can be auto-populated from Cost Schedule items, that have been set up with a Link to Timber List.
The Timber List total amount is transferred to the Timber Supply work group in the Cost Schedule by adding TL into the Rate field of the item setup. From there, its total gets applied with business markups and added into the Contract Total.
Timber items are added into the quote by selecting an item Type, Size, and entering its QTY. Timber List Item quantities can also be measured up and sent directly from Plan Scan to Timber List items.
