Something that should be fairly easy to implement is to add the part number field to job cost records, and default the description to the line description (either from A/P Invoices or Inventory Allocations).
This would add tremendous functionality to the software. It would allow users to create invoices and cost reports with the highest levels of detail preserved. Some of the additional functions from this simple addition could be:
- Cost report of every part with individual costs
- Cost report of every part with hidden individual costs, but subtotaled by cost code or cost type
- T&M Invoices with individual part costs (this is often requested by many customers).
- T&M Invoices with part detail, but subtotaled by cost code or cost type (this is often requested by many customers).
- An easy query in one table to find what jobs a specific part was used (regardless of where it came from; either a vendor or from inventory).

Another area this would improve is looking at cost records in 11-2 Service Receivables. Most of the cost record descriptions are extremely vague. It would be amazing if we looked at the costs, and saw the individual parts listed!
Please implement this. This is such a problem for me when doing T&M invoices since I really don't want my customers to see the vendor and transaction data but rather the items being purchased. It would also be nice if the part number showed the default billing amount as well but at this point I will take what I can get.
