schedule RESOURCES 
Use this function to list the resources used within a selected BOQ
Key Features
- Resources filtered by Type (Labour only, Material only etc.)
- Resource cost confirmation sheet for the complete BOQ
- Update to Current Prices option - useful if you have put a Schedule aside for a few weeks / months
- Resource Replacement if you would prefer to use another resource
- Assign resources to a specific supplier
There are several important functions associated with the Schedule resources:
SUPPLIER
Allows you to change the supplier associated with this resource. Can be applied individually or by selected block.
Note: You cannot reassign price list suppliers.UPDATE TO CURRENT PRICES
This updates the selected resource(s) to the latest resource library value. Remember that resources copied from the Resource Library (directly or via the Item Library) are copies of the original and therefore if the original is changed the Schedule copy is not. In most cases this is how most people want it to work. This feature is therefore particularly useful for jobs that may have been placed on hold for a period of time and have now been resurrected for final adjustments.
PERCENT
You can make price adjustments to any resource either singly or as a block. For block adjustments, use the Percent function to make wide-ranging adjustments quickly.
RESOURCE REPLACEMENT
Replacing one resource with another and see the effect on your costs. more
Notes
- Any changes made here are applied only to the currently selected BoQ - your resource library remains unchanged.
- Adjusting Default Waste% will apply to NEW occurrences of the resource only. This is to avoid the unwitting adjustment of item resources which have already been manually adjusted or copied to the schedule with fixed values.
- You can also access Schedule Resources for a specific item. Drill down on the resource within the item Buildup to view the resource data values for this Schedule (May or may not be same as library)
- For Composite Resources you can drill down to view the individual resources and of course make any changes
Tips

- Use the Trace function to find out where specified resources are used in the Schedule.
