Die Cutting Blade
The die cutting blade record allows the user to add all die cutting blades used in the product engineering. The die cutting blade needs to be recorded only for the engineering to calculate its consumption and cost. For more information, refer to "Die Cutting Blade Consumption and Cost Calculation in the Engineering.”
The user is required to have enabled the following access options to be able to delete die cutting blade:
EPS > SALES > RECORDS > IQUOTE > ENGINEERING > RAW MATERIAL > DIE CUTTING BLADE > DELETE DIE CUTTING BLADE

Add Die Cutting Blade
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Die Cutting Blade or enter "Die Cutting Blade" in the Quick Search field.
Click Add. The following screen will open:
Complete the fields as described below:
|
Field |
Description |
|
Raw Material |
Name of the die cutting blade used in the Product Engineering. |
|
Blade type |
Blade type, which can be: Cut – Indicates the blade is used only in the die cutting processes; Creasing – Indicates the blade is used only in creasing processes. It is not being used in the system currently. |
|
Cost Account |
Name of the cost account to which the die cutting blade cost shall be allocated for future cost analysis. For more information, refer to "Add Cost Accounts." |
|
Cost sub account |
Name of the cost sub account to which the die cutting blade cost shall be assigned. The Cost Sub Account belongs to the Cost Account. For more information, refer to "Add Cost Accounts.” If the appropriate cost sub account is not listed, make sure the selected cost account is correct. |
|
Stock Item |
Inventory item to which the customized raw material must be linked. If the appropriate inventory item is not displayed, it is necessary to record it. For more information, refer to "Add Inventory Items.” |
|
External Reference |
Name used for integrating the die cutting blade record with other systems. |
|
Production Unit |
Unit of measurement to be sent as default for the modules of production for requesting materials. This field does not affect the Engineering calculation unit, which is the same as the generic Engineering component type unit. For more information, refer to "Add Engineering Component Types.” |
|
Active |
Indicates if the die cutting blade will be available for use in the Engineering. |
|
Plant |
Plant which indicates a material can only be used for Production Groups in the same plant, once it is linked to this material. Once the plant is selected and the raw material saved, it will no longer be allowed to unlink the plant linked to it, therefore, it is recommended to set this configuration with caution. This field only appears if the “Separate raw materials by plant” is enabled in Sales > Records > iQuote > Commercial > Estimate General Setup |
|
Width |
Die cutting blade width, calculated based on the Product Engineering measurements. This field is informational only and will not be considered in the Engineering calculations. |
|
Length |
Die cutting blade length, calculated based on the Product Engineering measurements. This field is informational only and will not be considered in the Engineering calculations. |
|
Height |
Die cutting blade height, calculated based on the Product Engineering measurements. This field is informational only and will not be considered in the Engineering calculations. |
|
Peso |
Die cutting blade weight. This field is informational only and will not be considered in the Engineering calculations. |
When finished, click Save.
Edit Die Cutting Blade
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Die cutting blade or enter "Die cutting" in the Quick Search field.
Click the appropriate die cutting blade to select it.
Click Edit.
Edit as needed. For more information on the buttons and fields on this screen, refer to “Add Die Cutting Blade.”
When finished, click Save.
Delete Die Cutting Blade
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Die cutting blade or enter "Die cutting" in the Quick Search field.
Click the appropriate die cutting blade to select it.
Click Delete.
Click Yes to confirm the action.
Tip: If the selected item is being used, the system displays a message that it can not be deleted.
Die Cutting Blade Cost and Consumption Calculation in the Engineering
Record the die cutting blade in the Die cutting record. For more information, refer to "Add Die Cutting Blades.”
Check if the Component Class 1017 – Die Cutting Blade exists in the Engineering Component Types record. For more information, refer to the "Add Engineering Component Types.”
In production groups, link the Component Class 1007 – Wire Stitch to the 1038 – Die Cutter Knife Assembly inputs. For more information, refer to "Setting functionality 1038 – Die Cutter Knife Assembly.”
Enter the die cutting blade cost in the raw material cost record. For more information, refer to "Add Raw Material Costs.” The die cutting blade’s consumption calculation and costs are displayed in the Engineering.
