Stock Size Cutting Rules (Pre-Trim)

Stock Size Cutting Rules (Pre-Trim)



 

If you are setting stocks up that are trimmed out of larger sheets (Pre-Trim), you need to
setup
the ‘cutting rules’ so that you are able to quote on smaller sheet sizes that are able to fit on the presses that you have in the system.

 

You will need to go into the 'Stock Sizes' screen.

 



Fill in the name in of the stock size and be sure to add 'Trim' at the end of the name. In this
example
we are creating a '450x320 trimmed stock size. Fill in the sheet width and depth. Make sure that you tick on the 'Is Cut Stock' checkbox.

Any stocks created with the ‘Is Cut Stock’ checkbox ticked will be available to select from within the ‘Stock Size Cutting Rules’ section.

dropdown

dropdown

Click ‘Create and the stock will be added:

 


 


You can update or delete the item at any time.
