Controlling Item / Descriptor Planned Costs when copying a Job

Controlling Item / Descriptor Planned Costs when copying a Job

This User Defined Constant modifies the behaviour when copying from one job to another. By default Ostendo will copy the originating job item and descriptor planned costs to the new job. (Labour Code planned costs are always refreshed with the current cost). 

There are some environments where they wish to always refresh these costs when a job is copied.

The following User Defined Constants allow you to control whether the costs are refreshed (for either or both Items and Descriptors) when the job is copied.


Constant Name: REFRESH ITEM COST ON JOB COPY

Type: Yes/No


Constant Name: REFRESH DESCRIPTOR COST ON JOB COPY

Type: Yes/No
