Create alternates - Intergraph Smart Materials - Version 10.2 - Help - Hexagon

To offer an alternate to the original quote detail, you can create alternates. The alternate number displayed in the Alt column on the Bidding Details panel acts as a sequence number to differentiate between the alternative items for a quote detail. The alternate number of the original quote detail is zero.

1. Select the line item(s) for which you want to create an alternate.

2. Click Create Alternate .

   

   • Another alternate is created each time you click this option, and the alternate number is incremented by 1.

Create Alternate is not available if any of the following are true:

• The line item is an alternate (alternate number > 0).

• The line item is a split.

• The line item is a master or detail tag.

• The approval process of the quote has been started.

• The quote has already been approved.

• The quote detail has been assigned to another bidder and that quote has already been approved, or the approval process for this quote has already been started.
