Buyout 2.00.0045

October 18, 2020


Database Compatibility

The Buyout database in this version is not compatible with the prior version. After installing this version, you must run Buyout Database Manager to upgrade your Buyout database(s).


Enhancements

  • Commitment Order – The new setting implemented in the prior version that controls the order in which commitments are created is now also used to control the order in which documents print.
  • Commitment Item Order – A new setting has been added in Buyout Options that allows the sequence of commitment items to be specified. This controls the order in which items are added to a commitment and also controls the order in which items are printed on RFQs, Purchase Orders, and Subcontracts.
  • Create Commitments, Progress – When creating commitments, progress text is now displayed in the status bar of the main window showing how many commitments are being created and how many have been created so far.
  • Buyout Package – Project Name – A new field has been added to the Buyout Package where the name of the project can be specified. This field value will default to the Buyout Package name. The Project Name field is used to identify the name of the project on RFQ, Purchase Order, and Subcontract documents.
  • Tax Amount & Total Amount Columns – In addition to the pre-tax (i.e., bid amount), columns are now included that show the tax amount and total including tax. These columns have been added to the Quote Group list, Quote list, Commitment list, and Commitment Item list. In addition, the Quoted Amount, Tax Amount, and Total Amount values are now displayed in the properties pane when Show Details is clicked.
  • Rounding Properties Display – When showing details for the items in the Quote Item, the Rounding Direction and Rounding Unit settings of the item are now displayed.
  • Bid Group – When importing an estimate, the Bid Group name (for items assigned to a Bid Group) is now imported. This column is now available to display on the Group Items view.
  • Included Bid-Grid Items – When importing an estimate, items assigned to a vendor via a Bid Group and that are marked as included, will now be imported and marked as included.
  • Combined Sage 300 CRE Commitment Items – When sending commitments to Sage 300 CRE Job Cost, if the “Combine items with matching Job, Extra, Cost Code, Category” checkbox in “Operations Options” is checked, items will be summarized by Job, Extra, Cost Code, Category, and Tax Group. In this scenario, if there is more than one item having the same combination of values (and being condensed into one item), the cost code description will be used as the commitment item description.

Resolved Issues

  • Resolved issue when storing pricing where a quote item with a null unit of measure would cause Buyout to fail to recognize an existing stored price having the same vendor, phase, item number, and unit of measure. This would result in a message stating that the price could not be stored due to an overlapping date range. This issue has been resolved.
  • Resolved issue when applying stored pricing where a vendor item with a null unit of measure would not default to the unit of measure assigned to the standard item. Consequently, if the stored vendor price had a null unit of measure and the quote item specified a unit of measure, the stored price would not be found. This has been resolved.
  • Resolved issue where Quote Group names were required to be unique within a Buyout Package. When automatically creating and assigning Quote groups during importing of an estimate, this meant that two cost types could not share the same Quote Group assignment criteria. This restriction has been removed such that Quote Group names must only be unique for a Buyout Package within each cost type. Thus, it is now possible to have the same Quote Group name defined for each cost type.
  • Resolved issue when entering a lump sum price for a quote where the total amount entered would change based on an error in the formula used to prorate the amount by item. This has been corrected.
  • Resolved the following issues with the “BO Commitment Document” and “BO Request for Quote” Crystal Reports:
    • When producing multiple documents, line numbers were not restarting at 1 when starting a new document.
    • Address line 3 of the vendor address was listed twice.
    • Subcontract document did not include Units and Unit Price columns.
  • Addressed issue where the creation of a large number of commitments in Sage 300 CRE (i.e., over 50) may result in the program hanging or crashing. Due to the likelihood that this issue is being caused when system resources are depleted, Buyout now frees resources after the completion of each commitment.
