Bill of Materials Report Misnamed

PROBLEM

The Bill of Materials command is not showing under Estimate reports in the basic version of Goldenseal. Instead, the command still had its original name (Materials Takeoffs).

Caught By

User bug report.

Workaround

If you have Goldenseal basic, use the Material Takeoffs command in version 3.5 or earlier. It's the same thing as the Bill of Materials. Both give you a list of materials needed for a project.

Solution

Version 3.6 uses the correct name.

Technical Details

We renamed this command about a year ago, to make it more compatible with general accounting terminology, and to avoid confusion for people who use the term "material takeoff" for blueprint measurements. Looks like we forgot to change it in the separate resources that are used for the basic version.
