Relief Plate
The relief plate record allows the user to add all relief plates used in the Product Engineering. The relief plate needs to be recorded only for the Engineering to calculate its consumption and cost. For more information, refer to "Relief Plate Consumption and Cost Calculation in the Engineering.”
The user is required to have enabled the following access options to be able to delete Relief Plate:
EPS > SALES > RECORDS > IQUOTE > ENGINEERING > RAW MATERIAL > RELIEF PLATE
Information on the Relief Plate Record Window
Go to Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Relief Plate
Tip: For more information on the buttons in this toolbar refer to “Standard toolbar” in Basic Navigation.
Tip: For more information on adding or editing search features refer to "Searching” in Basic Navigation.
Tip: For more information on how to add other information in columns, refer to "Views" in Basic Navigation.
Add Relief Plate
Tip: To be able to add relief plates, the user must previously record the relief plate like Engineering components. For more information, refer to “Engineering Component Types.”
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Relief Plate or enter "Relief Plate" 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 relief plate used in the Product Engineering. |
|
Cost Account |
Name of the cost account to which the relief plate 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 relief plate 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. |
|
Engineering Component Type |
Engineering component types, which can be: 1023 – Relief Plate – when selecting this component type, the recorded relief plate can only be used by the 1019 – Embossing functionality. For more information, refer to "Setting functionality 1019 – Embossing." 1024 – Braille Plate – when selecting this component type, the recorded relief plate can only be used by the 1048 – Braille Relief functionality. For more information, refer to "Setting functionality 1048 – Braille Relief." 1029 – Flexographic Plate – when selecting this component type, the recorded relief plate can only be used by the 1075 – Flexographic Printer functionality. For more information, refer to "Setting functionality 1075 – Flexographic Printer." 1030 – Hotstamping – when selecting this component type, the recorded relief plate can only be used by the 1018 – Hot stamping functionality. For more information, refer to "Setting functionality 1018 – Hot stamping.” |
|
Inventory Item |
Inventory item to which the relief plate material must be linked to facilitate the material request. If the appropriate inventory item is not displayed, it is necessary to record it. For more information, refer to "Add Inventory Items.” |
|
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.” |
|
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 |
|
Thickness |
Relief plate thickness. This field is informational only and will not be considered in the Engineering calculations. |
|
Maximum Production |
Maximum number of cycles the relief plate can do. If the number of cycles is greater than the maximum production value, the Engineering will add more relief plates. |
|
External Reference |
Name used for integrating the relief plate record with other systems. |
|
Active |
Indicates if the relief plate will be available for use in the Engineering. |
When finished, click Save.
Edit Relief Plate
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Relief Plate or enter "Relief Plate" in the Quick Search field.
Click the appropriate Relief Plate to select it.
Click Edit.
Edit as needed. For more information on the buttons and fields on this screen, refer to “Add Relief Plate.”
When finished, click Save.
Delete Relief Plate
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Relief Plate or enter "Relief Plate" in the Quick Search field.
Click the appropriate Relief Plate 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.
Relief Plate Cost and Consumption Calculation in the Engineering
Record the Relief Plate in the Relief Plate record. For more information, refer to "Add Relief Plate.”
Check if the Component Classes 1023 – Relief Plate, 1024 – Braille Plate, 1029 – Flexographic Plate, 1030 – Hot Stamping Plate exist in the Engineering Component Types record. For more information, refer to the "Add Engineering Component Types.”
In production groups, link the the following components to the following functionalities inputs:
|
Component |
Functionality input |
|
1023 – Relief Plate |
1019 – Embossing |
|
1024 – Braille Plate |
1048 – Braille |
|
1029 – Flexographic Plate |
1075 – Flexographic Printer |
|
1030 - Hot Stamping Plate |
1018 – Hot stamping |
Enter the relief plate cost in the raw material cost record. For more information, refer to "Add Raw Material Costs.” The relief plate’s consumption calculation and costs are displayed in the Engineering.
