 Estimate Updation

1.1 Overview
Estimate updation module has been developed as part-I of Indian Railways Works & Contract
Management System. It is a Web-based application that allows Online filling of various
already sanctioned estimates of any work upto the level of sub-estimate, major sub head
wise. It covers –
a. Authorisation of users competent to fill and confirm estimate details
b. Confirmation of auto populated Abstract estimate details
c. Updation of Part-Detailed Estimate, Detailed Estimate, Revision of Part-Detailed
Estimate, Revision of Detailed Estimate etc.
d. Entry of Allocation wise cost upto the level of Sub-Estimates.
e. Entry of sub head wise Cash & Stores cost.
f. Generation of Estimate-Ids
g. Allocation of accounting units of IPAS authorized to make expenditures in the
estimate
h. Allocating sanctioned work to executives authorized to book expenditure in the
project
i. Link to IREPS for making requisition or tender schedules

Note-

1. Users are requested to populate IRPSM with those estimates only which have been
sanctioned by competent authority.
2. The logic of user authorized to use estimate filling and confirming is enclosed as
annexure-I.
3. Estimates once confirmed shall be pushed to IPAS and IREPS and can’t be edited
subsequently.
4. Part detailed estimate can be added till the final Detailed Estimate has not been
updated. Once Detailed estimate has been updated then no further Part Detailed
Estimate can be added.

Unique Works Identity (UWID) = 12 digits of IRPSM Project-Id of works (excluding 2 digits
of Executing Agency) detailed at annexure-II.

Estimate Id = UWID + 2 digit sequence number for serial number of the sanctioned
estimate in that work

Sub-Estimate Id = (Estimate-Id) + (2 digit department _code)-

provision for further delegation has been set by the application. The logic of the same is
detailed as under -

executive authority for creation/ updation/ confirmation of estimates. These
authorized users can further assign creation/ updation /confirmation responsibility
to their subordinate users up to one level.

2. At executing agency’s login, following screen opens up upon clicking the link
“Delegation of Estimate Creation Authority”.
A button is available against each work with name “edit”. Executing agency has to
