What 4.99.05.16 Fixes

This update addresses this issue:

ON-4783 - When exporting the Job Cost Summary export CSV file, the Job Data File, and several of the Accounting exports, the Category Codes are exporting as their internal numbers, not the expected letter codes (M=Material, L=Labor, etc.). You can convert them from number to letter using the key attached to this article. (The Job Data File export does not support custom Category Codes, they are always exported as the generic "M", "L", "S", "E", and "O" codes.)

Original 4.99.05.14 Release Notes

Features

New Job Data File Accounting Export (see QB 4.99 - 14.03 Job Data File (Generic Accounting) Export).

Just an FYI: the Global Export options "Include Bid Number" and "Use Account Codes" do not affect the new Job Data File export.

Changes

Remove Registration screen and all Personally Identifiable Information in compliance with the GDPR and California CPA
Allow non-California U.S. Residents to opt-in to usage analytics (no bid information transmitted, just anonymous product/feature use data)

Non-U.S. residents and residents of California are opted out automatically until we can provide a method for purging customer data upon request

Accounting and "Custom" Exports are no longer available to users who are not under a current maintenance subscription

Known Issues

ON-4727 - When creating a Job Data export, there are some scenarios that cause accepted change orders not to be included when generating an export for the entire bid. If you notice this, the work-around is to run the Export without including Accepted Change Orders, and then run the Export against each Accepted Change Order.
ON-4807 - On the Materials Tab, if you use the "Show Description" option, Print Preview generates a "Bad Formula Result" error. A workaround for this is to select all the rows on the Materials Tab, Copy them, then Paste into Excel or Word.
PMTE-2295 - Selecting Active Sections does not create the sections on the Subs Tab
The "Set to Item Description" option for Schedule of Values Contracts is the same as "Set to Cost Code Description".
