Hi Savitha,
Are you able to merge a cubit standard version job with a pro version job?
Hello Frank,
Any Cubit jobs can be merged on a Cubit Professional version.
Hi Savitha,
What happens with the Ref Code numbers if the 2 jobs have line items with the same code numbers?
Hi Luke
The job that is displayed at the top of the Merge Jobs window will retain its original Ref Codes. Any duplicating Ref Codes from the other jobs being merged will be allocated a new Ref Code by the system.
Hi Elaine
Is there a way to merge two jobs and still keep all the formulas and references?
Hi Kevin
I don't think so, as any duplicating Ref Codes will be changed and therefore break any linked formula or references.
Elaine, in a previous ticket 89764, I mentioned the following extract, maybe this would help part of the way at least?
"As you need to make a selection during the merge process of which job is to merge to which, i.e. place one job at the top (master), can the job at the top be locked to ‘not loose’ cell reference and the merging job only loose its cell ref? That way you don’t have to rebuild ALL cell ref formulas after a job merge, only half of them….."
That's correct Grant. You are correct that only the top listed job in the merge will retain its Ref Codes and keep its formula and references.
Hi,
Is it possible to merge multiple jobs while keeping the grouping codes? All jobs have been grouped by rate using the same grouping code list. When I click on 'manage codes' it shows the group has been assigned yet all codes seem to have disappeared.
Hi Hazel
When jobs are merged, their grouping codes are retained. We'll raise a support ticket for you so that we can investigate what may have happened during your Job merge.
