Finishing The Estimate

A significant feature of MEI Steel Estimating Software is its ability to audit a completed estimate.  During the audit process, each of the sheets is automatically reviewed for missing or incompatible data and the user is alerted if potential errors are identified.  Obviously, the software cannot detect errors where an incorrect number has been entered, e.g. 1% profit instead of 10%, or when material has been omitted.  However, it is useful in identifying missing data such as when width has not been provided for plate material.

When the audit is performed, a message box indicating how many errors were identified is displayed.  If errors are detected, they are written to an Audit Results Sheet.  By double clicking any error on this sheet, the user will be taken to the source of the error.
