Multi Company

Allows the users to setup their Organization Structure from a single screen.

Commission to Invoice by Job Part

• Key features:

– New versions can be added using any existing

version – not just the latest one made – can revert

to the best.

– Numbering integrity is maintained – Numbers for

deleted versions are never re-used. This makes any

necessary back-research a cinch.

– Capture Analysis reports show correctly that this

single estimate (even though it may have many

versions) became a job, for a 100% capture rate.

Estimate Versioning
