Link an estimating job to a project management job

By linking an estimating job to a project management job, you can share the labor and material information with the Project Management and Production Control modules. This allows you to compare the estimate information with the actual production information.

  1. At the top of the Tekla PowerFab window, click the Estimating button.

    The Select Estimating Job dialog opens.

  2. Select the estimating job that you want to link to a project management job.
  3. Click Edit.

    The Estimate Job Edit dialog opens.

  4. For Project Management Job, select the desired project management job in the list.

    The project names and job numbers do not need to match.

  5. Click Save.
Note: You also need to link the production control job to the project management job.
To unlink an estimating job from a project management job:
  1. Erase the job number in the Project Management Job field.
  2. Click Save.

In the Project Management module, you can run the Full Project Summary report, for example, to compare estimated vs. actual material.
