Step 1 - Select a Line Item and Insert Pricing Sheet

Double-click on a line item to open the BOQ item editor for that item. Once there, select insert from the Action Tab on the right-hand side and then change the data source from Local Project to the data source that you added:

This will enable you to select any of the pricing sheets from your data source that you added, which will typically be the library that you created. Simply type in the name of the appropriate worksheet in the Insert/Replace Worksheet search box or look for it by scrolling down through the list of worksheets.

Once you have the appropriate pricing sheet simply double-click on it in order to insert it into your project and attach it to the line item.

This is why building your costing library is so important, because once that is done pricing becomes as simple as finding the correct pricing sheet and attaching it to your bill item.

Once you have inserted and attached the pricing sheet you can select the Next Record button at the bottom left which will take you to the next line item where you can repeat the process.

You also have the option of using the Auto Price function, which you will find at the bottom of the screen in the BOQ module. This will automatically match the bid/line items in your data source project to the ones in your current project and attach their pricing sheets automatically, thereby greatly speeding up the pricing process:
