Engineers Office

The Engineers Office module keeps the division’s office records alongside the estimation and billing work — the registers an engineering office maintains, the reference lists those registers draw on, and the printed statements produced from them. It is opened from the Engineers Office menu.

Registers

Each register is a running list you add to, edit and print:

• Preliminary Estimate (PE) — the office record of preliminary estimates.
• AA/ES — administrative approval and expenditure sanction entries.
• Agreement — the agreements the office has entered into.
• Bills — the bills passed against those agreements.
• Supply Order (SO) — supply orders and their linked estimates.

Open a register from the menu, fill the fields at the top, and Save to add or update a row. Existing rows can be selected, edited and saved again.

Library (reference lists)

The registers pick values from short reference lists you maintain once — agencies, contract categories, financial years, work categories, situations, store items, the prepared-by and authority names, and the standard letter texts. Keep these lists current and the registers fill in quickly and consistently. Each list is edited from Engineers Office › Library.

Office details

Engineers Office › Office Details holds the office/sub-division particulars that head the printed statements. Enter them once and they appear on every report.

Reports

Engineers Office › Report Preview lists the office statements (registers, abstracts and letters). Choose a report, apply any offered filter (financial year, dates, agency, prepared-by), and preview or print it. A number-to-words converter is also provided for filling amounts in words.
