NS-13574 - Projects: The Remaining Column Learns Which Kind of Math It’s Supposed to Do

The Remaining column on the Project List View has been updated so it now calculates correctly for both expense-only projects and projects that track revenue. Previously, it was a little too “one formula fits all,” which is great for hats and terrible for project accounting.

Now NorthScope looks at whether the project has a Revenue Budget and uses the appropriate calculation:

  • For projects with only an Expense Budget, Remaining shows how much of the expense budget is left to spend.

  • For projects with a Revenue Budget, Remaining shows how much net budget remains by comparing the project’s net budget against its actual net activity.

In short: expense-only projects get expense math, revenue projects get net budget math, and the Remaining column has stopped pretending those are the same thing.

NS-11836 - Inventory Screens: Same Item Info, Now With Fewer “Can I Sort This Separately?” Moments

We’ve added a little more flexibility to the Item Balance, Lot Balance, Item History, and Lot History screens for anyone who has ever looked at a combined Item ID / Description field and thought, “That’s nice, but I’d really like to work with those separately.” A thrilling inventory thought, yes, but a valid one.

The existing combined Item ID and Description column stays exactly where it is and will remain visible by default, because we are not here to move your cheese for sport. But we’ve also added separate Item ID and Item Description columns so you can show, sort, filter, group, or export those values independently when needed.

Those new separate columns are not visible by default, so your screens won’t suddenly look like someone dumped extra columns into them with a shovel. They’re just available when you need them.

We also added Sale Price to the Lot History Inquiry, giving you more details about the sales order line price directly from the history screen.

NS-13842 - Fish Ticket Views: Showing the Right Values, Because That Seems Fair

Several Fish Ticket list views and inquiries were being a little selective about what they felt like displaying. Some fields were blank when they should have had values, and others were showing the wrong version information entirely—which is not ideal when you’re trying to tell whether a ticket is an original, correction, or reprice. Minor detail. Only the whole point of the field.

We’ve cleaned up the display logic across the affected Fish Ticket screens so values now show as expected, including:

  • eLandings Status on the Fish Tickets List View and Fish Ticket History Inquiry

  • Version Type across Fish Ticket list views and inquiries

  • Version on the Fish Ticket Lines List View, which will now display consistently and only when appropriate

NS-11922 - Item Copy: Duplicate Descriptions Are Allowed, Actually

The Item Copy process was being a little stricter than the regular Item master file screen. It refused to let users copy an item when the new item had the same Item Description as an existing one—even though NorthScope normally allows duplicate item descriptions just fine. Classic “rules for thee, but not for me” behavior.

We’ve fixed the copy process so it now follows the same rules as the Item master file. You can copy items with duplicate descriptions when needed, and NorthScope will stop pretending that matching descriptions are a crime against Inventory.

 

NS-13748 - Item Balances: Duplicate Lines, Same Item, Very Unhelpful

The Item Balances list view was occasionally showing the same item more than once for the same Site and Owner, which is exactly the kind of thing that makes users wonder whether inventory multiplied overnight or NorthScope just had too much coffee.

We traced the issue to certain lot balance records where the Cost UOM value was missing. When one lot had that value and another didn’t, the Item Balances screen treated them like separate balance groups and showed duplicate item lines.

We’ve fixed this in two ways: new lot balance records will now set the Cost UOM correctly when created, and the Item Balances list view will no longer split the same item into duplicate lines because of a missing Cost UOM.
