Wire Stitch

The wire stitch record allows the user to add all wires used in the Product Engineering. The wire needs to be recorded only for the Engineering to calculate its consumption and cost. For more information, refer to "Wire Stitch Consumption and Cost Calculation in the Engineering.”

The user is required to have enabled the following access options to be able to delete Wire Stitch:

EPS > SALES > RECORDS > IQUOTE > ENGINEERING > RAW MATERIAL > WIRE STITCH > DELETE WIRE STITCH

Information on the Wire Stitch Record Window

Go to Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Wire Stitch

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.

Add Wire Stitch

In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Wire Stitch or enter "Wire Stitch" in the Quick Search field.

Click Add. The following screen will open:

Complete the fields as described below:

Field	Description
Wire Stitch	Wire stitch name used in Product Engineering.
Cost Account	Name of the cost account to which the wire stitch 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 stitch 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.
Inventory Item	Inventory item to which the wire stitch 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.”
Density	Wire density. This field is informational only and will not be considered in the Engineering calculations.
Weight per Meter	Weight of one meter of the wire, which will be used to calculate the wire stitch weight in the Engineering, considering the formula: Wire weight (Kg) = (wire width / 1,000) (wire weight per meter / 1,000) * number of stitches * cycles*
Wire Stitch Standard Width	Standard wire width, which will be used to calculate the wire stitch weight in the Engineering, considering the formula: Wire weight (Kg) = (wire width / 1,000) (wire weight per meter / 1,000) * number of stitches * cycles*
Product Minimum Thickness	Minimum thickness the product must have so that the wire stitch can be selected in the Engineering.
Product Minimum Thickness	Maximum thickness the product must have so that the wire stitch can be selected in the Engineering.
External Reference	Name used for integrating the customized raw material record with other systems.
Active	Indicates if the substrate line 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

When finished, click Save.

Edit Wire Stitch

In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Wire Stitch or enter "Wire Stitch" in the Quick Search field.

Click the appropriate option to select it.

Click Edit.

Edit as needed. For more information on the buttons and fields on this screen, refer to “Add Wire Stitch.”

When finished, click Save.

Delete Wire Stitch

In the system’s main menu, click Sales > Records > iQuote > Engineering > Raw Material > Wire Stitch or enter "Wire Stitch" in the Quick Search field.

Click the appropriate Wire Stitch 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 Stitch Cost and Consumption Calculation in the Engineering

Record the wire stitch in the wire stitches record. For more information, refer to "Add Wire Stitches.”

Check if the Component Class 1007 – Wire Stitch 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 Stitching machine functionality inputs. For more information, refer to "Setting Printing Functionalities.”

Enter the wire stitch cost in the raw material cost record. For more information, refer to "Add Raw Material Costs.” The wire stitche’s consumption calculation and costs are displayed in the Engineering.
