Spoil Setting Definitions Part 1 - the COMPONENT SELECTION
These are the options that are available to control the press components. We recommend setting a basic press "pass through" component first that will apply to the PRESS TYPE only. Once this is working you can start adding different criteria for specific scenarios. Some of these options will conflict, so follow the "LESS IS MORE" rule of thumb.
Spoils components work like all IQ components - the BLUE side is the IF STATEMENT (if these criteria apply) the GREEN side is the THEN STATEMENT (apply these rules)

Creating a Component Records
To create the component click on the NEW COMPONENT BUTTON:
Fill out the COMPONENT SELECTION IF STATEMENT and then the corresponding PRICING THEN STATEMENT
Once component records are created they will show in the build as lines below the input area:
Exporting the SPOILS to a Table
A good practice is to create the first record, and then EXPORT the table and work on it in excel. To do this create a record and hit the EXPORT button at the top right of the screen:
This will produce a CSV file that you can edit and then re-import:
You can duplicate the existing line, and then make any changes - adding stock groups, press options etc. as necessary.
If you duplicate a line, make sure you delete the key in column A for the new record before you re-import.
