Proportional Products and Components Explained
If you want to create products in Jobman that can use proportional parts and style ranges for fast quoting you need to understand how to set this up correctly. Firstly, familiarise yourself with Quote Pricing, Creating Style Items, Parts & Components.
Inside products you can assign parts.
You can link these parts to Style Items that use a material based on a SQM rate.
When Jobman calculates the total cost of the product, it takes into consideration the whole SQM rate of all the parts combined.
This also works for lineal metre calculations.
Please note this is not in an optimised format as we are not a nesting tool.
Example: Base 1 Door Cabinet
Parts of the cabinet are linked to a style called "Carcass". These parts are linked to a board material which is optimised to be based on SQM. In a quote this will multiply the total parts (SQM) by the total area to obtain the price. The same methodology can be used for steel, signs, surface area, etc.
