The Quote Analysis section on the Quote Detail page provides an estimate of the Material and Activity Cost for a Quote.
The estimated Material Cost is based on the relationship defined between a Sell Product and a Purchase Product. The estimated Activity Cost is based on an hourly rate provided for the Job Activity Types.
Before adding Estimated Material or Activity Costs to an Quote, Purchase Products and Hourly Rates for Job Activities must be set, Activity Costs for Sell Products defined, and Sell Products linked to Purchase Products.
