Extra Document Screen for Contractor Fees

In the most recent update I have added an extra document screen to the Contractor Module. There is now a document screen available off of the new Contractor Fees Screen. The regular document screen, which is off of the Contractor Screen, can print fee information but I decided that it would only access the current Active Fee. That led to this extra document screen from the Contractor Fees Screen that gives access to all of the fees stored for the current contractor. The standard document that will ship with this screen is called "Fee History." Of course, it also supports unlimited custom documents.

Contractor Module Adds Fee Database

In a major redesign of the Contractor Module we have now added a separate database for tracking fees. This allows you to have multiple fees attached to a single contractor record. In prior versions only one fee could be stored in the contractor record and we had a Reset button to copy old fee information into the Notes field before new fee information was added. The flaw with that design is that there is no good way to report on the old fee information. Now you will always be able to report on both the current active fee and any past fees collected from contractors. Existing ZP SQL customers will automatically have the new database added and their existing contractor fees moved. In addition to that major change we have also added a third Phone field to the contractor database as well  as a Notes2 field. We have also expanded the size of the Company field. You will need to download the new program files to take advantage of the new features. A training video has been posted detailing the new fee option.
