The inventory fields for framing materials are stored in the Price Codes file but can be viewed and/or modified from the Work Order file. Inventory of framing materials can be handled by one of two methods: manual or automatic.

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.
This method is more time consuming.

It is fast and easy.
FrameReady calculates the moulding footage used on a Work Order, removes the required footage from inventory, identifies the supplier you have selected to order and, when you generate a Purchase Order, enters the amount onto it.
If you use the automatic update system, then a report can be printed for all Price Code items sorted by Location or Group.
FrameReady won’t know if there was a flaw in the material and you actually used more than required.
Or if an error is made in cutting and more material needs to be taken from inventory. Also, after removing 8 feet from a 10 foot length of moulding the computer will leave 2 feet in stock while in fact it may have been discarded.
Only the total footage is shown on the inventory screen. You must set up this option using the Main Menu > Work Orders Options screen.
