Owner Furnished Equipment - D-Tools Forum

When I make a product "OFE" it sets the values of cost and price to $0.00. Great. But when I undo the OFE setting, the value of the product does not return and the OFE tag is no longer.

We actually don't use the built in OFE feature. The last thing I want to do is add a bunch of SKUs I don't sell. I set up Owner Furnished Equipment as a manufacturer and just duplicated a bunch of the Generic items. This allows me to reuse them without changing much more than the model number in the description if I even do that. Most of the time the I/Os don't need to be changed either. We just change the existing OFE items on the project level only so it doesn't affect the MasterTable. It's worked very well for us. The fact that we don't do much OFE helps too.

ROGER that!

We have OFE as a manufacturer built into our STARTER MasterTable and include models for products typicallly owner furnished, loaded with typical I/O's

Modify at the project level and good to go.

Nice work Graham

This is a reported bug. It will be corrected in a future release.

We use OFE but added a prompt on reports that will show them or not, depending on the need. If they show on the report we add "* OFE - Owner Furnished Equipment" in the footer of each page where they appear.
