Trim Profiles

Standard metal trim is manufactured for inventory.  Review Instant Manufacturing Batch from Sales Order for steps to manufacture standard trim.

The process to design, price, and sale custom trim requires tools that integrate design software with the sales order and pricing of EBMS.   

Configure Custom Trim Products

Create product items for metal trim that are formed and sold to the customer using the following options:

  1.  Stock trim classified as Track Count products: A separate product item must be created for each trim color.   Review Instant Manufacturing Batch from Sales Order for steps to manufacture stock trim.

  2. Custom trim products classified as No Count products:  A single item can be used for different colors.  These items deduct the coil using an invoice materials list which effectively reduces coil stock when the customer is invoiced.  

Complete the following steps:

  1. Create metal trim product items classified as either Track Count or No Count.

    Review [Inventory] Product Catalog > Entering New Products for steps to create new inventory items.

  2. Enter Trim in the Type entry within the General tab as shown above.

  3. Add the metal coil product within the Component tab that is used to create metal trim.  Review [Inventory] Components > Adding Components for steps to add the metal coil components to the metal panel items.

  4. Enable the Made To Order option to prompt the user at the time of order entry to choose between stock trim and manufacturing trim.  Review [Inventory] Made-to-Order Kitting > Inserting a MTO item into a Sales Order for details on mixing manufacturing and stock for a trim SKU.

  5. Configure the settings for the multiple length panels in the Parts Calculate tab.  Review [Inventory] Components > Component Formula Tool > Overview for details on this option.
