Material Takeoffs-- Goldenseal Construction Estimating Software

No Takeoff Report

I can't find the report for Material Takeoffs (Bills of Materials)!

In early 2003 we decided to move Material Takeoff reports from Projects to Estimates. That way you can get a takeoff even before you start work. Some of the older printed Getting Started manuals may still tell you to look in the old place.

In version 2.6 of Goldenseal estimating software, we are changing the name of the Material Takeoff report to be Bill of Materials instead. That term is commonly used by many types of businesses, and nobody will confuse it with the process of measuring material quantities while making an estimate.

To get the Material Takeoff reports in Goldenseal 2.3 and earlier, follow these steps:

Choose Projects from the Reports menu.
Choose Mat'l Takeoff or Mat'l Takeoff By Item from the submenu.

To get the Material Takeoff reports in Goldenseal 2.31 to 2.5, follow these steps:

Choose Estimates from the Reports menu.
Choose Mat'l Takeoff or Mat'l Takeoff By Item from the submenu.

To get the Material Takeoff reports in Goldenseal 2.6 and later, follow these steps:

Choose Estimates from the Reports menu.
Choose Bill of Materials or Bill of Materials by Task from the submenu.
