🧩 What’s going on
Error calculating flashing costs in Word report.
It seems that this issue had two problems contributing.
1️⃣ 🧾 Problem 1 — Flashings listed as separate lengths
The first was that the flashing order form using ###TotalOrder Summary separated each flashing length when apparently no flashing stock lengths were defined. It appeared as shown below:
✅ Fix
Use the option [Merge Product Codes] in the Supply and Install Options dialog.
2️⃣ 📏 Problem 2 — Stock length references still affecting totals
The next was the fact that even after merging product codes, we still got an extra bit of detail as if the stock lengths table was being referenced (because it was) and the total cost calculation was not executing correctly.
✅ Fix
Edit the FLENGTHS.DAT file to remove reference to any products that didn't use stock lengths, which on this case, was all of them.
Note also the correct calculation of the line item and reference to the @3400 (a stock length number) has gone too.
🤷 Mystery cause
How the details got there is a mystery, but that fixed the problem.
