When you click [OK] the Gross Qty is transferred back into the Reporting dialog box.

You can cancel any changes you have made and close this dialog box.
📤 ExportCSV
This allows you to write the table of information on this dialog box to a comma separated value file, ready to import into other computer systems.
📦 ExportGRIM
This allows you to write the current job as a GRIM file.
If you have given this job a quote number then the name of the grim file is <Quote Number>.GRO. If you have not, the name of the grim file is GrimFileOut.GRO.
You also get separate grim files defining the materials required from each supplier. These are named Order-<Job Number>-<Index>.GRO.
The format of a GRIM file is described later in this manual and how the GRIM file is used in conjunction with external systems such as a business management system.
🖨️ Exported roof plan and image files
A plot file of the roof plan is also exported in HPGL format that may be used to illustrate reports in other systems. It is saved as GrimOutFile.plt into the …\User folder.
A TIFF bitmap image file is also created. If a job number exists, then the file is called Job#.TIF. If no job number is defined, then it is called GRIMOUTFILE.TIF.
