2. Me: Overview of Subcontractor Markup Scenarios - Caltrans/Non-Caltrans, Prime, Subcontractor
Question and Answer Period - both random and user questions:
1. Me: Caltrans 2024-2025 Rate Reminder
2. Jen: From last month - What is the file size limit on transfer of the zip file?
Answer: No larger than 50 MB. If your file is larger or you have multiple files, wait till you get your submittal notification email and REPLY ALL and add the attachment(s) to that email.
3. Deon: Can I import labor and equipment charges in the order it comes from HCSS HeavyJob instead of alphabetical order of the IDs
Answer: Thanks for asking - we have programmed that option for you to use now. The default will be to sort IDs alphabetical but you can change that now.
4. Vince: How do I add equipment not listed? I tried to add a bore rig, but when it comes to the part of adding class, make, and model, it doesn't let me add any info and says "To Be Determined" to the right. I don't see where we add rates either. It's under Augers, Horizontal in the rate book [AUGHZ]. Make is Ditch Witch, model is JT-20. I'm not sure where the ID info is, but the description would be Bore Rig.
5. Briana: Is there a way to see the billing total (and/or payment total) without running the full Billing Status Report?
Now I'd like a report without all the detail. Now Can I filter if I just want cco 1, 4, 7 for example.
Those numbers were arbitrary, I just wanted them to not be consecutive
Answer: Billing Summary, Report Wizard, Query Wizard
6. Me: Caltrans abnormal bill entry approach that a Caltrans person might suggest and advice you to do.
7. Me: Caltrans changing a Miscellaneous Equipment Rate from one year to a Current Equipment Rate with a different Model Code.
Additional Information: Put the OLD Model code into the Alternate Model code and then select the new rate codes by using Quick Filter.

We only use the payment option for caltrans. On private I like to use that as the cover sheeet,
but I dont like all the columns - perform date, report date, total amounts -
sorted by change order ascending order. And can I save as a global report for all jobs?
