Sales orders with cut, decoil and saw processing

Sales-order lines in DXSteel can carry several processing steps before the material is shipped. Per line, DXSteel sets up to five processing codes automatically (Cut, Decoil, Saw, …) based on the item's routing and production BOM. From there, actions like Cut Sales Lines, Decoil Sales Lines or Saw Cutting Sales Lines create the corresponding specifications.

The workflow — a coil order with decoil + saw

Create a sales order. Add a line for the finished product (cut steel parts).
On Release, DXSteel internally calls SLGetProcessingStepsDMX. Based on the item routing, up to five Processing Name fields are populated (e.g. Decoil, Saw, Pack).
Open the Sales Order Processing Card to review the steps and optionally add instruction text.
From the ribbon you can initiate multiple processing specs: Lines To Decoil, Lines To Cut, Saw Cutting Sales Lines.
The warehouse and production flow follows: pick → production order → shopfloor → finish → label → ship.

Splitting a sales line

A sales line can be split across lots or locations via Sales Line Split.

Open the sales-order line.
Choose Sales Line Split and provide item, profile, quality, variant, location, and quantity per sub-line.
DXSteel checks: split not allowed if already shipped, if a purchase order is linked, if order-level costs exist, or if the variant is not steel.

Field reference — core sales-line fields

Field	Purpose
Quantity Pieces / Length / Weight	The three measurement dimensions. One leads; DXSteel computes the others from the Item Profile.
Outstanding / Qty. to Ship / Qty. Shipped (per UoM)	Logistics progress.
Processing Name 1-5 + Processing Value 1-5	Which processing codes apply to this line and whether they're resolved.
Document Unit of Measure	PCS / KG / MTR — which UoM appears on the document.
Item Profile Code + Quality Code	For splitting: drives which item/variant gets found.
Manual Price	Override the system price.

Best practices

Split early: if you know an order line will be split across lots, split it before release. After release the checks tighten.

Use the Sales Processing Line Factbox for a one-look view of which steps a line carries and their state.

Common split errors

Message	Cause
"Splitting not allowed if item is not steel"	The item is not a steel item. Split isn't supported.
"Splitting not allowed if qty. already shipped"	Part of the line has been shipped.
"Splitting not allowed if purchase order created or Purchasing Code set"	The line is linked to a purchase (drop ship or special order). Remove the link first.
"No quantity left to split"	Remaining quantity is zero.
