Wire-o
The wire-o record allows the user to add all wire-o used in the Product Engineering. The wire-o needs to be recorded only for the Engineering to calculate its consumption and cost. For more information, refer to "Wire-o Consumption and Cost Calculation in the Engineering.”
The user is required to have enabled the following access options to be able to delete Wire-o:
EPS > SALES > RECORDS > IQUOTE > ENGINEERING > RAW MATERIAL > WIRE-O
Information on the Wire-o Record Window
Go to Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Wire-o
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 Wire-o
Tip: To be able to add wire-o, the user must previously record a Spine – Wire-o Specification Characteristic Class. For more information, refer to "Specification Characteristic Types.”
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Wire-o or enter "Wire-o" 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 wire-o used in the Product Engineering. |
|
Cost Account |
Name of the cost account to which the wire-o 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 wire-o 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. |
|
External Reference |
Name used for integrating the wire-o record with other systems. |
|
Inventory Item |
Inventory item to which the wire-o 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.” |
|
Active |
Indicates if the wire-o 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 |
|
Rings by inch |
Number of rings per inch in the wire-o. It is used to determine consumption. |
|
Rings by roll |
Number of rings per inch in the wire-o. It is used to determine consumption. |
|
Roll weight |
Wire-o roll weight. It is used to determine consumption. |
|
Color |
Wire-o color, selected in the Estimate or Job, that can be linked to a raw material in order to allow this raw material to be selected by the Engineering, whenever it is selected in the Product Specification. The wire-o color must be previously recorded. For more information, refer to "Spine – Wire-o.”. |
|
Inches |
Wire-o size in inches, selected in the Estimate or Job that can be linked to a raw material in order to allow this raw material to be selected by the Engineering, whenever it is selected in the Product Specification. The wire-o inches must be previously recorded For more information, refer to "Spine – Wire-o.”. |
|
Maximum Spine Thickness |
Maximum spine thickness the product must have in order to this material to be selected by the Engineering. |
When finished, click Save.
Edit Wire-o
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Wire-o or enter "Wire-o" in the Quick Search field.
Click the appropriate Wire-o to select it.
Click Edit.
Edit as needed. For more information on the buttons and fields on this screen, refer to “Add Wire-o.”
When finished, click Save.
Delete Wire-o
In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Wire-o or enter "Wire-o" in the Quick Search field.
Click the appropriate Wire-o 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.
Wire-o Cost and Consumption Calculation in the Engineering
Record the wire-o in the Wire-o record. For more information, refer to "Add Wire-o.”
Check if the Component Class 1025 – Wire-o exists in the Engineering Component Types record. For more information, refer to the "Add Engineering Component Types.”
In production groups, link the Component Class 1025 – Wire-o to the 1029 – Wire-o inputs. For more information, refer to "Setting functionality 1029 – Wire-o.”
Enter the wire-o cost in the raw material cost record. For more information, refer to "Add Raw Material Costs.” The wire-o consumption calculation and costs are displayed in the Engineering.
