Members
The Members section assigns colleagues to a costing so ownership and collaboration stay explicit through creation, review, and approval. Search by name or pick from suggested groups, then add or remove people with the plus and trash controls. Assignments feed notifications and give managers a quick view of who is active on each record. Costing analysts and merchandisers typically own the sheet end-to-end, whilst suggested supplier-linked groups extend visibility to external partners under your access rules. Keeping the list current ensures margin queries and approval reminders reach accountable owners.

Member Management
These features help you leverage member assignments and manage team participation effectively.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Suggested Groups | When a supplier has been added in the Supplier section of the costing, suggested groups appear in the member selection menu. Without a supplier, only internal members are available for selection. |
| Notification Integration | Member assignments can be linked to system notifications. Assigned members receive relevant alerts, keeping communication focused and reducing unnecessary noise for the rest of the team. |
| Workload Overview | Use member assignments to get a quick overview of who is working on what. This can help managers balance workloads, identify potential bottlenecks, and reassign tasks as needed to keep projects on track. |
Important Notes When Using Members
Supplier Requirement: The suggested group option only appears if a supplier has been added in the Supplier section of the costing. Without a supplier, only internal members are available for selection.
Removal Confirmation: Removing a member triggers a confirmation prompt. Once confirmed, the removal is final and the member will no longer receive costing-related notifications.
Permission Scope: The ability to add or remove members may depend on your user role and permissions. Ensure you have the appropriate access before making changes.
Best Practices
Use Group Suggestions: Use the suggested groups to quickly assign relevant internal or external stakeholders when a supplier is linked to the costing.
Assign Key Stakeholders Early: Add relevant team members at the start of the costing process so they receive relevant notifications and stay informed throughout the lifecycle.
Keep the Member List Updated: Maintain the member list throughout the costing process. Confirm with your team before removing members to ensure no loss of responsibility tracking.
