Considerations
You can create multiple bid packages from the project's estimating tool.
Each estimate creates one bid package.
A separate bid form is created for each group within an estimate.
Cost codes are not currently pulled into a bid form.
You can edit a bid form to add sections, however this may mean the data would be mismatched and Unit/Qty items would be rolled up into a total amount when importing back into Estimating.
Line items in a bid form default to 'Amount' for the 'Response Field Type'.
If you are using a unit based quantity estimate in the estimating tool, you can can edit line items on the bid form to unit quantity. When you import bids back to your estimate, they will sync correctly because the units match in the estimating tool.
If you are NOT using unit based quantity but update the bid forms to unit based quantity, you must either have the bidder resubmit with 'Amounts' or alter the bid in the Bidding tool before importing. Otherwise, the units will not match and you will see an error.
Bids must be awarded to be imported into the Estimating tool.
