Whilst an offcut can be valued at the full cost of the material it is often preferable to reduce the cost of an offcut to account for the extra handling and storage costs associated with offcuts. So on any reports involving offcuts the offcut values are shown at a reduced value.
This sets the minimum value for cost reduction.
- Enter the value as a percentage of the original board cost from the board library.
For example, a value of 20 would reduce the offcut cost to 20% of the original board value.
The cost reduction value is used on the Management Summary to show the true value of any offcuts produced; it is also shown on the top line of the Offcut summary.
See: 'Offcut allowance notes' for details of how the offcut values are worked out
