Cost per area

 

A value of 3.52 means 3.52 monetary units (e.g. Pounds or Dollars) per square measure of area (e.g square metres or square feet)

 

For example:-

 

£3.52 per square metre

$3.52 per square foot

 

Cost per sheet

 

A value of 3.52 means 3.52 monetary units (e.g. Pounds or Dollars) for each sheet

 

For example:-

 

£3.52 per sheet

$3.52 per sheet

 

 

Operation of board costing

 

For all summaries and reports the program uses 'Cost per area' so if the 'cost per sheet' method is selected the program automatically converts the value set in woodStore to a cost per area when creating the Board list for optimising. Cost per area is then the value used and shown in summaries and reports.
