Profit Columns
Some users have noticed that on-screen displays of profit margins and profit markups are missing, and this can lead to tedious effort with a spreadsheet. To assist with profit analysis (when sales and cost of goods sold are tracked by product or product category), several menus have been updated to allow you to place these columns where appropriate.

This is a service pack for version 2.36.
Problem/Bugfixes
- Under certain rare circumstances, a database could crash between safepoints, potentially compromising the internal recovery system that prevents data corruption.Database utilities checking for block_pointer_integrity and free_block_integrity sometimes reported errors that indicated a problem with the internal recovery system. In most cases, these errors could be repaired by running an nvreorg. In some cases, however, damage occurred in a critical area and could not be fixed by nvreorg. This release fixes the source of the problem that could potentially compromise the recovery system.
- When using Block>Copy and Block>Paste commands for payroll timecard transactions, the start time and end time were not copied. This release fixes the problem.
- A user transaction edit date range that spanned more than 68 years effectively locked the database to transaction entry/edit (e.g. 1950 to 2025). This release fixes the problem.
