Edging code set at Orders or Product requirements
Using a variable for the edging code allows the to be entered at the product requirements (or order details) screen.
This is useful where the products only vary in edging style or colour because as only one product definition is required in the Product library for all the various products with different edging styles.
For example, a cabinet with a door which is edged either with WHITE, YELLOW, or GREEN tape can be defined as a single Product with variable edging.
Enter the edging code for the door part in the Part library as a variable (for example: @EDGECOL@). The door is entered in the part library as:
Code Material Length Width Description
DOOR/R @MATERIAL@ 804.0 720.0 RH Cabinet Door
The other information for the part is set up as:-
Long Edge Front:@EDGECOL@
Long Edge Rear: @EDGECOL@
Enter the actual edging colour at the Orders screen or at the Product requirements screen.
