         <Paragraph>Use this session to select which part of the estimate lines falls
		  in to the bid. You can do this by selecting the primary structure and the
		  estimate lines linked to the <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#000370" role="glossary">structural element</Link> s, or by
		  selecting estimate lines that do not have a primary structure. These lines are
		  called <Link href="/baanerp/tp/glossary/glossary#000367" role="glossary">discrete lines</Link>. Discrete
		  lines can only be copied as a range, they do not have linked structure.</Paragraph>

         <Paragraph>In the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/est/tpest2100m000" role="session">Estimate Lines (tpest2100m000)</GUIRef> session you can change bid lines. After modification
		  you have to start the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tp/est/tpest3210m000" role="session">Prepare Bid (tpest3210m000)</GUIRef> session again.</Paragraph>
         <Paragraph>For bottom-up lines linked to a structural element, all
		  conditions for transferring bottom up lines are valid. In case of discrete
		  lines, Include In Scope must be selected and either Include In Cost or Sales
		  must be selected.</Paragraph>
