Handling of offcuts
The offcuts produced during the processing in productionAssist Nesting can be labeled and registered in the materialManager for later use in intelliDivide. Already existing offcuts can be registered with the help of the materialAssist Board.

Registration of an offcut material management
After selecting the offcut in the nesting pattern, you can click Label/confirm/register to open a dialog for editing the offcut.
In this dialog you can adjust the length and width if necessary.
Edit offcut, label and assign storage location
When you click on Label & registration, a label with a unique number is issued and the offcut is registered for further use in materialManager. The offcut is now automatically displayed in the materialManager as part of the inventory.
If no registration is wanted, simply click on Label & confirm to print a label containing the material and the dimensions.
Note: When using the materialAssist Boards, the offcut can be assigned to a storage location at this point.

For offcuts registered in productionAssist a new entry is automatically created within the associated material. The board code is preceded by an X and is composed of XMaterialcode-LengthxWidth.
