Travel estimates

Your proposal's travel information includes all the trips that are necessary to complete a contract. The trip destinations and their travel expenses come from a travel rate table that has been created in ProPricer™ Contractor Edition Enterprise.

You can upload a travel rate table to your proposal in the Integration settings. Additionally, the Estimates settings have options for the Per Diem, Rental Car, and Miscellaneous travel expenses.

On the Estimates page, once you've added a trip to a proposal breakdown structure (PBS) element, you can specify how many times that trip will occur in individual tasks. You can also adjust the quantity and rate of each travel expense in the trip. If you need to use the latest rates from your travel rate table, you can update a trip's expenses.

EstimatorFLEX calculates the total cost of a trip in a task according to the travel estimate details you enter. Since travel estimates appear automatically after being calculated, you can only change the travel estimate details.

Trips you've added to PBS elements could later become invalid if they no longer match the destinations in the proposal's travel rate table. You might encounter invalid trips after assigning a different table to the proposal, or after synchronizing all the proposal's external data. Invalid trips will be highlighted red in the grid, like this:

To focus on travel estimates only, change the estimate type to Travel in the drop-down menu above the grid.
