**Positive Sage feedback **and** program fix re: false ""Invalid Bill"" messages in various places on the B/M Summarized B/M Report** (even in XYZ demo company) Karen McWhirter at Sage followed up with me today re: my v2015 client's issue. It's being resolved with PU4 for v2018. _**However**_, it can likely be used on the client's v2015 system per Sage's testing. I expect to receive the modified _rpt.pvc program file within the next couple/few days. 5-17-18 I originally reported issue to Sage. 5-22-18 Sage writing this up as a defect. 6-26-18 Sage said program fix is coming/avail.

Excellent!

Attached program update...

Fyi, I copied the program update into the client's v2018.2 test system. Upon testing, I see that the ""Invalid bill"" messages are now gone. What I also noticed is that the items listed for a given BOM have changed. Before the program update, it appeared to just list the top-level (parent) items. But with the program update it's instead showing the components for the applicable sub-assemblies, and the top-level (parent) items that have no components. I'm checking with Sage to find out if the 'items listed' change was also part of this program update. And btw, it appears the initial issue may be specific to BOM Options. Also, attached shows the report settings we're using.

Fyi, from Sage: ""The report is designed to show the quantities of the Exploded Bill Components instead of the quantity of the Parent itself. The program was creating -*-*-*Invalid Bill-*-*-* instead of exploding the sub-assembly bill components. It is displaying properly now.""
