Add cost of the cut to the final report

[Kirirru]

is there an opportunity to add accounting for the cost of the cutting length in the final financial report.
i mean this

to this

Hi @Kirirru,

Currently it's not planed.

It's sad. I'm using box with material and adding cost to it. And i think it's "duct tape" but i need it for final cost report.
Big thanks for good tool anyway.

[ziyadsaeed]

can you add labour cost as a function of total material cost, or as a function of number of cuts or length of cut
that would be nice to have for 5.0 release

Hi @Kirirru,

Even if the computation is really simple. I don't know how this kind of data could be set and displayed. And when it's not simple I prefer not implemented it!

• Where to setup price per length of cut ? Global ? Per material ?
• How to display the result in Estimate page ? Panel table ? Not structured for this kind of data.

mabe im newbe but i think its not hard
You already have all the necessary data

[Kirirru]

it remains to multiply the number of cuts by their cost and display them in the final estimate

Thank you for the proposals, but

• Parts List (second screen) don't know cutting length. Impossible to displaying there
• Mixing cutting cost with panel price may be confusing in panel table.

Of course all data are there. I don't want to put data anywhere. It's hard to explain to user and extremly hard to maintain for futur features.

look, I work with stainless steel and the cost of one cut costs me, for example, 20 cents and I make 800 cuts. When ordering for a thousand dollars, it turns out that you need to keep $ 160 in mind for cutting. I usually create a material that I call "for cutting" and assign it a static cost. But it's duct tape. in a tool that can calculate an estimate, such an item must be mandatory. Because sometimes the number of cuts is in the thousands.

Oh! I see. Newermind!

If we were to evolve the estimation module, I'd prefer to brain on a more global solution that could be fully customizable. Where each user compute what he want from base estimation data and displayed the result in a separated table.

But this is not currently a priority ;)
