Processing Setup

The central configuration for all processing flows in DXSteel — sawing, cutting, decoiling, and subcontracting. Each section controls one flow with its own defaults, weight margins, and order policy.

When to configure: during implementation. Revisit when adding a new processing type or when actual production reveals tolerances that need adjustment.

This page has 47 fields. Many tooltips are auto-generated, so the descriptions below combine the field name with knowledge from the operational flow. Confirm with your iFacto consultant or product owner before relying on these descriptions for training.

General

Field

Description

Combine Production Orders

Whether new processing lines may be added to an existing firm-planned production order, and how (by item, by item+routing, etc.).

Status Production Order

Default status (Firm Planned / Released / etc.) for production orders created from a processing spec.

Add to Released Production Orders

If on, new operations can be added to a production order that is already released.

Weight Type Processing

Default weight type to use when processing.

Default Variable Weight on Processing

If on, variable-weight handling is enabled by default.

Create pick on release of production order

If on, releasing a processing-driven production order triggers automatic pick creation.

Saw

Field

Description

Saw/Cut Specification Nos.

Number series for saw/cut specifications.

Combine Saw/Cut-Orders

Whether saw/cut specifications may be combined into existing firm-planned orders, and how.

Default Saw Processing

Default processing code used when a new saw specification is created.

Weight Type Sawing / Default Variable Weight on Sawing

Weight defaults specific to sawing.

Allow different input material

If on, sawing may consume a material that differs from the originally planned input.

Minimum Residual Length (mm)

The minimum residual length that DXSteel still treats as a remainder (rest piece). Anything below this is treated as scrap.

Display of Angles

Whether the spec shows material (inner) angles or cut (outer) angles.

Status Saw-Cut Order

Default status for production orders generated from a saw-cut specification.

Open Saw Production Order After Create

If on, the saw production order opens automatically once created from a spec.

Cut

Field

Description

Cut Specification Nos.

Number series for cut specifications.

Combine Cut-orders

Combination policy for cut specs into existing firm-planned orders.

Default Cut Processing

Default processing code used when a new cut specification is created.

Weight Type Cutting / Default Variable Weight on Cutting

Weight defaults specific to cutting.

Check weight cutting

If on, DXSteel checks the weight difference between consumption and output during cutting.

Cut weight margin (kgs)

Tolerance (in kg) for the weight deviation between input and output before DXSteel flags a problem.

Biggest value is length on restpiece

If on (default), the larger of length/width becomes the length on a rest piece. If off, the orientation is preserved as defined.

Allow different input material

If on, cutting may consume a material that differs from the originally planned input.

CIN Nos.

Number series for CIN (Cut Identification Numbers).

Status Cut Order

Default status for production orders generated from a cut specification.

Open Cut Production Order After Create

If on, the cut production order opens automatically once created from a spec.

Decoil

Field

Description

Decoil Specification Nos.

Number series for decoil specifications.

Combine Decoil-Orders

Combination policy for decoil specs into existing firm-planned orders.

Default Decoil Processing

Default processing code used when a new decoil specification is created.

Weight Type Decoiling / Default Variable Weight on Decoiling

Weight defaults specific to decoiling.

Check weight decoiling

If on, DXSteel checks the weight difference between consumption and output during decoiling.

Decoil weight margin (kgs)

Tolerance (in kg) for the weight deviation between input coil and output.

Allow multiple input pieces on decoil orders

If on, a decoil production order may consume more than one input coil.

Split the decoil spec. after registering pick

If on, DXSteel splits the decoil specification after a pick is registered (so the remaining decoil can continue independently).

Status Decoil Order

Default status for production orders generated from a decoil specification.

Open Decoil Production Order After Create

If on, the decoil production order opens automatically once created from a spec.

Subcontracting

Field

Description

Work Center No

Description missing — to be confirmed with product owner. (Likely: the default work centre for subcontracted operations.)

Worksheet Template Name

Default worksheet template used for subcontracted-purchase requisitions.

Journal Batch Name

Default journal batch used for subcontracting postings.

Mobile Production

Field

Description

Time registration by persons

If on, shopfloor session time is tracked per registered operator.

Log Shopfloor Session

If on, DXSteel logs shopfloor session activities for later analysis in Shopfloor Session Log.
