IQ has an extremely powerful engine that drives each operation. The component records for SIDE, SECTION and JOB operations all have different functionality, and you need to decide what you want to do to choose the correct TYPE of operation.
SIDE operations
apply to functions you would do to ONE SIDE of the sheet, but not necessarily the other. Side Operations could include activities such as laminating, offline coating, foil stamping, etc.
SECTION operations
apply to functions you would perform with the entire section. Section Operations would include activities such as folding, hemming, sewing, etc.
Calculations
for Section Operations look at the individual section, press sheets, sections sizes (i.e. in a multi-panel). Different processes can control Section Operations. Different presses can control Section Operations.
JOB operations
apply to functions you would apply to the entire job, including all sections. Job Operations would include activities such as saddle stitching, perfect binding, coil binding, etc.
Calculations
for Job Operations look at the final finished size of the job, thickness (height) of the entire job and typically look at the job quantity instead of sheets. Do not use a job operation if you will have multiple parts making up a job (inside the same quote), and you want to calculate these based on the sheets or specific sizes of the sections. Processes cannot trigger Job Operations, as they may have multiple processes across different sections. P
resses cannot control Job Operations as there could be different presses assigned to each section of a job.

|
Reference
|
Allows you to setup references on the component that drive functionality - i.e. Floor Laminate - chooses a machine, material etc. These are your own list of criteria.
|
Group
|
Allows you to set up groups on the component that drive functionality in additional to references - i.e. Floor Laminate - Textured - picks a different material. This is an additional level of criteria you set up yourself.

Cost Plus
|
Cost Plus -
pricing is a pricing method that attempts to ensure that costs are covered while providing a minimum acceptable rate of profit for the entrepreneur. It is calculated by adding a fixed mark-up to average (or unit) costs of production. IQ
allows you to create a
second
COST PLUS record that sits on top of the cost records and that controls the cost price. It can be based on References and/or Groups.

Parameter Component Value
|
Answers the question in the Parameter from the component (ie using References or Groups)
Parameter component value on components currently only works for parameters on bespoke, where the component is pre-selected using the reference and group controls.
This isn't intended to be used on simplified or to apply after a quote is priced.

Charge Options
|
|
Base Charge
|
This is the basic cost you want to apply to
the operation every time - everything else adds on top based on the
calculation. If the base charge is greater than the minimum cost, the minimum
cost is never invoked.
|
Machine Cost p/h
|
Where
you can manually set the Machine cost - NOT RECOMMENDED as you have to update
the cost on every component record with a change to rates. Should be set to "0".
|
