Create Resources and Keep Price History
Create Resources and Keep Price History with a fictional company example.
Create Material, Labour, Equipment, Transport, Service or Tax / Fixed Sum records. Resource is the shared family of these types. The type determines the resource split in reports; a category such as Paints refines the classification. Choose a consistent unit before creating a Breakdown.
Keep one record for the same resource. Add dated Price History observations instead of replacing old prices or copying a resource for every project. Each row can carry Price Set / Code, currency, Location, Supplier, a supporting offer PDF and transport information. Supplier describes the source; the Project Pricing profile selects by price set, location and dates, not a supplier filter. Review the chosen row when comparing suppliers.
In this example Floor panels has July 16 EUR/m2, September ASTER-26 18 EUR/m2 and a newer ALT-26 20 EUR/m2 observation. The ASTER-26 project must use 18, not the newest unrelated offer. A Price Offer record can keep an offer document and its linked resource lines together. Price History keeps the observations used for costing.
Transport included means do not add the same delivery cost again. Our panel offer excludes delivery, so a separate Transport resource supplies 2 EUR per installed m2. The Tax / Fixed Sum example is an unused allowance, not a tax recommendation.
All companies, prices, quantities, dates and documents are fictional examples. They demonstrate the software, not real offers, project evidence or commercial advice.

Retain the earlier observation
Add 2026-07-15 at 16 EUR/m2 and a separate ALT-26 observation at 20. Open each supporting document to review its source. Use the Project Pricing tutorial to select September ASTER-26.
Review the resource split
Open Resources to compare types and categories. Resource Report for the project expands the BOQ into material, labour, equipment, transport and service quantities.
