Changes to Version 5.5.0.15

Changes in this release were limited in their scope but the first one was long overdue.

• Change Request/Variation Requests now support Mark-ups. A separate mark-ups table has been add to the IPM Rate Tables component where a percentage mark-up can be recorded for each cost type. Then on the Change Request screen the mark-up appears between the cost and price fields and retrieves the mark-up from the rate table associated with the job. The mark-up or the price can be overwritten if required and the percentage will recalculate.
• New Forecasting Screen has been added which utilises the Snapshot functionality on the Job record. This is the first release of this component and it is still really in design however we have released it for discussion and feedback. The plan is to provide some functionality to add calculations into the 20 user definable columns so that this becomes a worksheet tool that is then used to feed reports.
