This really confuses a lot of people.
On a change order the added items and deleted items should be separated. It doesn't make any sense to include most items on the same line.
Example: I deleted 5 temp sensors (negative $1250) and added 16 temp sensors (positive $4000). The change order report shows 21 temp sensors with a total value of $2750.
This causes all sorts of confusion because this report does not delineate between those being removed and those being added, it just shows a single number (21) and a single price (added minus removed).
If I send this over to my accounting department they might assume it's 21 additional temp sensors at $131 (instead of the $250 they should be). This is especially erroneous because there are
no comments on the change order.
I would understand if it was difference. For example, it only showed 11 temp sensors at the additional cost, sort of like how labor is summarized.
As it is, this change order is useless to me for things like this. I have to make an excel report to explain what the change order does.
As an aside, I also noticed how deleting an accessory from an item brings that item to the report as a 0 qty/0 price item. It doesn't need to appear. In this same example I have 0 qty tstats moved from one location to another, and then a 0 qty tstat because I removed its temp sensor. I wish you could select the accessory by itself without having to select its parent.
