The Opera 2 Costing module is included in V2.15.00, released May 2002. The information below details the new functionality that this module offers.

Key Enhancements

Synchronised Forms: Job Views

Synchronised forms are new to Pegasus Opera 2 Costing. When drilling down on Job Views, Pegasus Opera 2 Costing synchronises all of the windows opened. Plus, any open series of forms can be closed by a single mouse click: close the main or 'parent' form and all 'child' forms are automatically closed.

Synchronised Forms: Contract Views

Also new to Pegasus Opera 2 Costing, these enable you to view all of the individual jobs associated with a particular contract. In addition to budget values, actual values are shown, and highlighted in purple if the actual value exceeds the budget.

Modeless Forms

New to Pegasus Opera 2 Costing, these allow greater flexibility; when performing a transaction in Costing, you can simultaneously perform transactions in other Pegasus Opera 2 modules.

Estimates - Single Line Job Quotations

New option: Direct Invoice by Job. This option enables you to produce a single line quotation, which takes into account all of the costs associated with a particular job. The first screen shows the selection process, and the second screen the quotation itself.

Sub-Contractor Functionality

This has been enhanced to record details associated with the Construction Industry Scheme. Details of cards and certificates can be input: CIS 4, CIS 5, CIS 6. Expiry dates can be entered and the system will display prompts when these dates expire. This-Period and Year-to-Date tax reports are also provided.

Cost Rates

Opera allows a maximum of 9 cost rates, Pegasus Opera 2 Costing allows up to 999.

Other Enhancements

Spyglasses - already introduced elsewhere in Pegasus Opera 2, these have been used throughout Costing in preference to standard FoxPro dropdown lists. Spyglasses provide a faster means of filtering information, and short cuts, such as entering the first letter of the information you are looking for, or a question mark for a full list, can be used.

Peoples File - expanded to enable you to specify whether an individual is a project leader, employee or a sub-contractor.
Commitments - the database has been amended to separate actual and committed values.

Cost Codes - enhanced to enable you to select which rates are used per Cost Code. In addition, on Labour Cost Types, you can select an employee and pull their salaried rate through from the Payroll module for budgeting purposes.

Global Cost Code Update - this facility is new to Pegasus Opera 2 and enables you to update a range of Cost Codes and Cost Rates automatically. The facility is presented in wizard format.

Import Stock Codes - we have enhanced this facility and made it available in wizard format. Plus we have added the option to select stock items by category and tick/untick individual items.

Departments - there is now a maintenance tabled dedicated to this, rather than departments being indicated by a three digit code on a job. There is also a copy facility allowing you to copy departments from another company.
