John and I did a quick check-in. Normally, Cory joins us but she was travelling today. John reported on the discount engine remake project. He is gaining traction and realizes that we have to tone it back a little bit compared to his dream of where he wanted to take it. The current project is just too big of a lift right now. We'll get back to it later on. The other thing that he reported on was some server stuff and John is taking more of a role in the code management and merging area. Especially for the new development environment and testing server. He has been put in charge of that.

Lots of emails. Marisa was chiming in on some marketing ideas. I also got some emails from Audrey and Marisa dealing with other marketing things, questions, budgets, and goals. Good stuff. I sent off a text to Steve to get a confirmation on some of the things that are going on. I want him to be involved with the decisions.

In between times, I was doing more research on the recipe/build process and getting deeper into the differences between build and sell (invoice based recipes) and build and hold (production or internal manufacturing PO's and inventory manipulation stuff). I'm seeing that I may need to add more options to help with sub inventory, multiple decimals, and yield multipliers. When we originally built this section, it was pretty simple. In the meantime, some of the needs are much more diverse and deeper. This whole thing is coming form a project to go back in and check some of the rounding errors for PO line items.

Without being too detailed, no rounding is needed if you have whole numbers times other simple whole numbers or simple decimals. It really gets funky if you have high quantities and costs that are clear out into the 5 decimal land. If you combine the two, the rounding error really starts to be more visible and important. Anyways, looking into what is needed to take those tools to the next level.
