Version 4.3.038 (Apr 2025)

Design Module

Note: This covers version 4.3.037, but was updated to include a new report on the FF&EZ Worksheet that was added after that release.

General

Fixed: If a problem occurred as FF&EZ was starting, an unnecessary second error message was being generated after the message related to the problem.

FF&E Worksheet

New: (Version 4.3.038) The "Vendor Cost Detail by Area, Room" report shows the cost per room, in contrast to the "Pricing Detail" reports that show the sell price. For purchasing management projects, this will show the same values as the "pricing" report.

Note: the estimated freight on this report is based on the cost, not the sell price and would be higher on the "pricing" version. A note on the report serves as a reminder.

Fixed: The "Illustration Sheet by Class, Tag" had a "missing index" bug that caused it to crash.

Fixed: In the "Quote/Contract" reports, the grand total was too high  when these specific conditions were all true:

  1. The project was set up to include tax on the estimated freight.
  2. You used the default option of displaying the freight estimate.
  3. You suppressed the display of the tax amount.

In this case, the total included the tax on the freight amount. This has been corrected on all of these formats.

Specifications

[Enhanced] The Pricing Tool has been modified in two ways:

  1. The option to adjust markups or margins to meet a desired total project sell price will now use the project's "Budget" (from the Project List screen) if one has been entered. This number now remains constant for each iteration of this use. If there is no budget, it defaults to the current project total.
  2. The option to apply a vendor discount to the "catalog cost" of specifications is now limited to only the vendor and supplier scope options. This is to prevent accidentally applying a vendor discount to products from multiple (or all) vendors.

Fixed: Manually entering a vendor discount on the specification screen for a specification calculated the wrong net total. The discount amount was being added instead of subtracted. This applied to specifications that did not use the "VAT included" option. It did not occur if you used the Pricing Tool to apply a vendor discount, but would if you subsequently edited the specification.

If you have been entering vendor discounts in Version 4.3.35, you should review the affected specifications for any issues. The calculation can be corrected by simply editing the specification and saving it again.

Fixed: If an vendor had a default discount, it was included in the net cost calculation, but its effect was not visible until you saved a new specification. The discount amount is now visible as soon as you enter a catalog cost.
