Price Codes

Manual Inventory Overview

Inventory must be removed from the inventory fields in the Price Codes file (or through the Work Order file) as soon as it is sold.
Each Price Code item must have a quantity (or footage, for moulding only) in the Qty fields (in the Manual Inv tab).
When you use a piece or full stick, it is up to you to remove it from inventory. This can be done right from the Work Order Frame1 – Frame5 detail screens. Any changes made there also change the related record in the Price Codes file.
When a Work Order is printed, then remove the stock that is to be used for that frame from the inventory fields. Make sure the moulding is actually there in your stockroom, and that it is usable, i.e., it doesn’t have a flaw in just the wrong place. If the moulding in stock is 10 feet in length and you only require 5.5 feet, then remove the entire 10 feet from the inventory and wait until after you have cut the frame before re-entering the remaining 4.5 feet.

This method is totally accurate (or as accurate as you want it to be). The moulding inventory can show the exact footage for each stick, e.g. 2 – 10ft lengths, 1 – 8ft length, 1 – 5.5ft length, etc.
When you use a piece or full stick, it is up to you to remove it from inventory. This can be done right from the Work Order Frame1 – Frame5 detail screens (e.g. on a back room computer when the cutting is completed). Any changes made there also change the related record in the Price Codes file.
You can chose not to return partial pieces to inventory and only record full lengths or lengths larger than 5 feet, for instance.
