Cut Length

Cut Length is used to define a length of material which is used to calculate the number of lengths one requires in Quote Build task.

This is different to the UOM (Unit of Measure) as Cut length is used in Quote Build tasks.

Example

A stock item is measured in meters but lengths are in 3m lengths.

Set the cut length to 3 in inventory setup

Activate the Cut Length quantity on this item to look at the cut length value

When making a build task of 5 and each quantity required on the base build is 30 meters.

The total meters required is 150 meters

The Light length comes in 3 meter lengths, production needs to know how many lengths are required to fulfil the build task.

Therefore it is 150 / 3m = 50 lengths required

The system will store this as a text value in the table and display 50 x 3

50 = Number of items required

3 = Length meter of item

The quantity on Packing Slip and Cut Sheet (Job Card) will display the Cut Length instead of the quantity.
