Processing master and Processing Instructions
Two connected masters:
-
Processing — defines a processing type (Cut, Saw, Decoil, Processing, Service) with work centre, cost code, item charge.
-
Processing Instruction — detailed variants with orientation, angles, linked images (saw figures).
Processing — field reference
|
Field |
Purpose |
|---|---|
|
Code |
Unique ID (e.g. CUT-01). |
|
Description |
Short label for UI and reports. Not blank. |
|
Type |
Cut / Saw / Decoil / Processing / Service. Changing triggers in-use check. |
|
Sales Line Column |
Index 1-5: which sales-line column this processing surfaces in. Unique per value. |
|
Work Center / Machine Center |
Default production location. Changing work centre clears the machine. |
|
Item Charge Invoicing |
Optional Item Charge for auto cost flow. |
|
Use Sawfigures |
Boolean: only for type Saw — enables saw-figure selection. |
|
Unit Cost + Cost UoM |
Fallback cost if no specific price applies. |
Processing Instruction — field reference
|
Field |
Purpose |
|---|---|
|
Code |
Unique variant code. |
|
Processing Type |
Type enum. Drives which fields are active. |
|
Miter |
Single / Parallel / Opposite (Saw only). |
|
Profile Shape |
U / C / T / L (only when Miter set). |
|
Orientation / Orientation (back) / (side) |
Conditional on profile shape. |
|
Saw Image (front/cut/positioning) |
Image Library references. |
|
Saw Figure Letter |
5-char code into the saw-profile diagram. |
|
Instruction (text) |
Free work instruction via GetInstruction/SetInstruction. |
|
Picture |
Embedded MediaSet for step diagrams. |
Errors
|
Message |
Cause |
|---|---|
|
"This processing code is already used" |
Changing Type while the processing is in use. |
|
"Cost Unit of Measure Code is required when Processing Unit Cost is specified" |
Cost filled without UoM. |
Best practices
Give processings descriptive codes (CUT-LINEAR, SAW-MITER-45, DECOIL-WIDE). Operators recognise them at a glance.
Use Sales Line Column deliberately: set max five processing types that should appear as columns on sales lines (Cut/Saw/Decoil/Subcontract/Inspection).
