Adjusting the relevant project cost details in the New costs tab

If required, you can adjust these values manually in the cost details: Price, Non-analyzable files, and Additional costs.

Important

New costs are a Beta feature.

Costs generated in the New costs tab screen are based on the details entered in the Users > Edit user > New rate cards tab screen. For details, see New rate cards.

Neither New costs nor New rate cards have any influence on the current project costs (managed in the Projects > Project Editor > Estimates > Costs tab screen).

Procedure. To adjust the relevant project cost details:

  1. Select Projects > Project list tab.

  2. From the Project list, select the project for which you want to generate costs.

    You can use the features in the Simple search and Advanced search tab screens to find the relevant project.

  3. In the relevant project row, select the context menu icon ellipsis_vertical_context_menu_brand_refreshed.svg in the left-hand side column.

  4. From the context menu, select money-bill-regular.svg Show Estimates . Then, select the New costs tab at the top of the screen.

    Note

    money-bill-regular.svg Show Costs will replace the money-bill-regular.svg Show Estimates option if your XTM Cloud Administrator has selected the Disable proposals in project estimates setting (for details, see Cost settings).

    Result: a list of all project costs generated so far for the relevant project is displayed in the New costs tab screen.

  5. In the project costs list, find the relevant cost.

  6. In the relevant cost row, select the context menu icon ellipsis_vertical_context_menu_brand_refreshed.svg on the right-hand side of the screen. Then, from the context menu, select Confirm costs.

    Alternatively, use the left mouse key to select the relevant cost row.

      • Price – The total calculated project cost, based on selected user's rate cards and expressed in their billing currency. For details, see Changing a user's billing currency in the New rate card tab. You can adjust this value, for example if a Linguist grants you a discount for the project.

      • Non-analyzable files – The relevant user's charge for processing non-analyzable files, expressed in their billing currency. For details, see Changing a user's billing currency in the New rate card tab. By default, the value is set to 0.

      • Additional costs – The total for additional costs charged by the relevant user for the project, expressed in their billing currency. For details, see Changing a user's billing currency in the New rate card tab. By default, the value is set to 0. You can adjust this value, for example if a Linguist requests an additional charge for the project.
