Override direct cost per month in BOE Pro.

Feature Request: Override Direct Cost Per Month in BOE Pro

Description: Enable users to override the direct cost per month within BOE Pro. This functionality will allow users to input actual costs for months where completed work has already occurred, providing a more accurate representation of project financials.

Use Case / Example Scenario

When bidding on a project with previously completed work, users must incorporate actual hours and costs into BOE Pro. The current system only accommodates estimated hours and costs, making it difficult to account for historical work. By allowing overrides for specific months, users can clearly distinguish between estimated and completed hours and costs within their project cost breakdown.

Requirements

• Provide an option for users to manually override the direct cost for any given month in a BOE Pro project.

• Allow entry of both estimated and actual/completed hours and costs, with clear distinction between them in the interface.

• Display overridden values prominently and flag them as actuals to avoid confusion with system-generated estimates.

• Ensure reporting and export functions reflect the distinction between estimated and actual costs/hours.

Benefits

• Improves accuracy of project bids involving work already performed.

• Enables clearer project tracking and auditing by separating estimated and actual data.

• Reduces manual reconciliation and errors in project cost management.
