TIP: Special Order Doesn't Have Original Estimate

Post by ricmorin »

For those of you that LOVE using Special orders, there's a problem. When transferring them to a Repair Order, the original or approved amount isn't logged. Converting from an Estimate to a Repair Order logs this info. If you still want this information to show, transfer or 'sell' a blank revision. This will set the original amount in the program and allow you to track changes correctly.

With all this free time on their hands, you'd think these M1 people could get this fixed. (TIC) I mean, who doesn't love Special Orders?
