Inventory Value

Feature

In version 3.9 of the Goldenseal construction accounting software, we have added a calculated Inventory Value field to Assemblies and Cost Items.

It simply multiplies the current inventory count, by the calculated inventory value per item.

This is an optional field that you can display in the Assembly or Cost Item window, or add to reports.
