The work step rate basis is the component property by which the work step rate is multiplied to determine the total number of man hours for that work step. The rate is the number of man hours needed to complete one unit of measure (UoM) of work for a specific work step type. By default, the work step rate basis is based on the Units property of a component (ISPC_ComponentItem.SPC_ComponentItem_Units).

You can designate a new work step rate basis for a given lookup row in the ROP Configuration.xlsm in the <Rate Basis> column, using the syntax <InterfaceDefinition.PropertyDefinition>. You can also designate a new work step rate basis for a given work step in the ROP Configuration.xlsm in the work step and purpose column, using the syntax <InterfaceDefinition.PropertyDefinition>.

When you generate the rules of progress data, Smart Construction uses the designated property definition to calculate the rate. Smart Construction first checks individual work steps for a designated rate basis, then checks lookup rows for a designated rate basis. If none are found, Smart Construction uses the default rate basis.

For example, you can designate that the rate for carbon steel pipe with a standard thickness be calculated using the size property definition exposed by the ISPC_ComponentItem <ISPC_ComponentItem.SPC_ComponentItem_Size>.

  • If there is not a rate basis defined in the <Rate Basis> column or the work step and purpose column, the rules of progress processor uses the default rate basis of the Units property (ISPC_ComponentItem.SPC_ComponentItem_Units).

  • Type the new rate basis in the <Rate Basis> column using the <InterfaceDefinition.PropertyDefinition> syntax.

    ratebasis_Lookuprow

  • Type the new rate basis in the work step and purpose column in the fifth row using the <InterfaceDefinition.PropertyDefinition> syntax.

    rate basis per work step

  • Type <each> in the <Rate Basis> column or in the rate table to designate the rate basis as a unit value of 1 with a unit of measure of the component itself. <Each> configures a per-each amount of work for the work step.

  • Rate basis interface and property definitions can exist either on the SPC_ComponentItem object or on the published object from which it is based.

  • The rate basis property must expose a unit of measure.

  • The rules of progress processor attempts to find and validate the rate basis first on the SPC_ComponentItem object. If it does not find it, the processor attempts to find the rate basis on the published object.

  • If the rules of progress processor cannot find the rate basis or it does find it but it is a property that does not expose a unit of measure, it does not perform any processing work on the step which carries that rate basis definition and logs the error.

  • After generating the rules of progress data and retrieving data, Smart Construction displays the UoM of the defined work step rate basis.
