I am doing a change order and have 3 separate Misc cost items that were added to the project since the original revision. When I generate the change order, the misc costs get included, but only the dollar amounts and no wording of what they actually are.

Had to take a look at this one.

Here is what is happening. Misc. Costs in SI have two fields "Cost" and "Cost Description". The "Cost" field is like a name/summary value and is what is currently being pulled into the Misc. Costs subreport. Based on the previous version, the "Cost Description" should be displayed here.

I'll enter this and make sure it is corrected in the base reports in the Next SP.

In the meantime, you have a couple of options:

1. Copy the text from the "Cost Description" field into the "Cost" field in the project.
2. Create a custom Misc. Costs report then create a custom Change Order with the new Misc Costs sub report. Save and Publish. Make sure you do this:
   Change Order editing

I'd go with option 1 for the time being. It's the fastest and easiest approach.
