Doing a Little Programming

SWAMP has been pretty stable of late, however some new requirements have made it necessary to share more of our purchasing information with our accountant - Laura.  I modified one of the main work order reports, which lists out all time, materials, and issues for a particular project.  The original report can now be selected (this is a report sent to customers for billing purposes), or the new, modified version can be selected.  The modified version does not report on labor or issues, but gives additional detail on materials such as vendor info and purchase order number.  This information is useful for tracking down expenditures.

While I was at it, I also created a "secret" search form for Laura to use.  In SWAMP you can search all past purchases by about 15-20 different criteria.  This is helpful when looking through history, or when you only know a little bit about an expenditure, such as the exact cost, where it was purchased, or a part of item description.
