Entering Gutter Cuts on Orders

The Gutter Cut Wizard automatically launches anytime you enter a gutter cut product in Sales Order Entry, as long as the product you enter has been set up as a gutter cut product in Product Wizard Maintenance.

Use the wizard to specify the number of cuts and the length of each cut in feet and inches. When you escape from the wizard, the gutter product is added to the sales order. Below the product, comment lines display the quantities for each cut length.

To enter a gutter cut on an order:

  1. Create or open a sales order and display the Body screen.

  2. Enter a gutter cut product.

The Gutter Cut Requirements screen displays.

  1. In the Qty of Cuts column, enter the number of pieces needed for the first length. For example, if the customer needs five separate pieces that are 10 feet long each, enter 5.

  2. In the Feet and Inches columns, enter the length of the piece in feet and inches.

  3. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each length that is needed.

  4. Once you are finished enter cuts, press Esc to exit the Gutter Cut Requirements screen and return to the Sales Order Entry Body screen.

The gutter product is added to the sales order, along with comment lines that display the quantities for each cut length.

Note: If there is not enough product available to make the cuts your entered, a Product Availability screen will display the current availability.

  1. If you need to make adjustments to the gutter cut lengths once they are on an order, place the cursor on the line item for that product and press Alt + / to reopen the Gut Cut Requirements screen.

  2. Finish processing the order as usual.
