Revenue (BOQ) refers to the Bill of Quantities (BOQ). It is a detailed document used in construction and project management to outline the estimated quantities of materials, labor, and overhead costs needed for a project. It serves as a key reference for calculating a project's revenue, particularly for projects priced based on work quantities.
It can be viewed in Estimation mode or Project structure mode.
...
Task codes (e.g., 1, 1.1, 1.2)
Task names and descriptions (e.g., "GF – Majlis", "Supply and installation of wallpaper")
Used to define where the work happens and how it’s grouped.
Estimation shows the each task's cost, overhead, VAT, and markup for each task (how much the work will cost and what revenue it will generate).
...
The system calculates revenue for each estimation line by applying a markup—either a percentage or a fixed amount—to the entered cost.
a) By Based on BOQ- : The markup will be applied based on the is applied to individual line items as specified in the Bill of Quantities (BOQ). The relevant percentages are entered in the dialog box and are then subsequently applied to each corresponding line item.
b) By Based on WBS – : This option applies markup based on according to the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). In the dialog box, either a markup amount or a percentage can be enteredspecified, which will is then be allocated to the respective corresponding project tasks. Separate Distinct markup values can be defined for assigned to each task individually.
c) By Based on Expense Item-:
This option allows enables markup to be applied according to specific expense items. It allows amendment of Both the markup amount and percentage can be adjusted as needed.
Freeze Revenue Amounts
In practice, once revenue is agreed with a client, it should remain fixed, even if internal costs change. To support this, the Estimation Document includes a "Freeze Revenue Amounts" button that modifies the system’s recalculation behavior.
...
If the Freeze Revenue Amounts buttonis pressed:
Revenue amounts in parent estimation lines are locked and no longer update automatically.
Cost and markup values continue to recalculate as needed.
This applies to both manual cost changes and overhead reallocations.
...
Hierarchy Code – Code indicating the level or structure of the BOQ item in the project hierarchy.
WBS Code – Work Breakdown Structure code for organizing work packages.
Is Group–Boolean (yes/no or 1/0) to indicate if the item is a group header.
Item Code – Unique code for the BOQ item.
Description – Short description of the item.
Full Description – Detailed description of the item (optional).
