Release 5.13
In our latest update to T-JACS, we’ve improved how you can add items to a job directly from the catalog list, including specifying the job scope, and the quantity. In the case of kits, you can also apply the kit to a job as individual components instead of as one item. A few bugs were also addressed, improving labor estimates and inventory retrieval.
What’s New
Allow Adding Job Materials by Exploding Kit
When when you want to add a kit to a job from the materials catalog kit list, you can click on the Apply to Job function at the bottom of the page. There is a new checkbox that says “Apply the selected kits as individual items to the job.”
When checked, the kit is exploded into individual items on the target job.
Specifying the quantity multiplies individual kit item quantities by the amount specified.
Note that the pricing of individual items will use the individual catalog prices and may not match the defined kit price or markup.
The preferred vendor from the kit is applied to the individual items, which may be different than the preferred vendor on individual kit components.
If you haven’t used kits, currently you can create a kit from within the job materials list by selecting items for the kit and using the Build Kit function at the bottom of the page.
The created kit can be located in the Materials Catalog list, under the sub-tab Kits.
Once created, you can add and remove items to the kit, and assemble a kit for use in stock if desired.
Reach out to us if you would like more clarification using kits.
Allow setting Scope and Invoice on Add to Job from Catalog
As above, when you are wanting to add an item to a job from any list of catalog items, under the Apply to Job function, you can choose a job scope or invoice (as applicable). You can now also specify the quantity to add and it will use that for the estimated quantity.
Fixes and Improvements
Improved The Save Function on Job Scopes Estimated Labor
Saving and updating job scope labor estimates was behaving inconsistently and producing errors.
Clean Up Columns on Table Row Footers on Mobile Devices
On small screens, some tables are converted to more of a list view, where the column title shows on each line next to the field value.
On the footer row, the title is not shown if there is no data, allowing for a cleaner view of aggregated values.
Include Time Sheets With Away Time on the Time Sheet Report Form
When generating time sheet reports for payroll, employees with available time sheets for reporting the reporting period are listed for selection, showing how many time sheets are available.
The count now includes away time sheets so that the employee can be selected if there are no other time sheets prepared for that period.
Fix Lookup Problem When Getting Inventory
In some cases, such as assembling kits, selecting a source bin does not work as expected unless you specifically selected the button with the inventory quantity. Just selecting the bin will now grab from the first available inventory record in that bin.
Fix Cost Center Not Loading for Job Scope on Time Sheet Report
The cost center shown on the employee time sheet report was previously only taken from the time sheet record. If the time sheet is associated with a scope, the scope cost center is used.
Fix Error on Kit Assembly
When the kit has no authorized bin, a field is not present that is expected. The total calculation shows NAN.
The kit can't be assembled anyway without having a destination bin, but it's cleaner to default to 1.
