Estimate Cost Summary-- Value Too High

PROBLEM

The user has an estimate that includes some assemblies that have a "fixed cost" component. When they click the Cost Summary button, some costs are too high.

NOTE-- Pressure Washing is the only stock assembly that is set up that way, but this problem also occurs if the user has created custom assemblies that have a fixed price component.

Caught By

User bug report.

DETAILS

When calculating the cost of labor, materials and other components of an assembly, we were fetching the partial unit cost and then multiplying it by the quantity. For Assemblies with a fixed cost component, that meant we took the unit cost for one item-- which will be much higher than the cost for multiple items. The result is a reported cost that is too high.

This problem only affects the Cost Summary values-- the numbers in the Estimate itself are calculated correctly.

Solution

This problem is fixed in version 3.6 and later.
