1. Tabs across the top of every detail screen allow you to move through the work order screen in a different way. Clicking on these will take you to the detail screen of each component, a handy way to fill in the work order if you know you have many entries in under each framing material, e.g. more than one mounting required, two frame designs, etc.

2. Clicking each number of the Layered Frame Icon (5,4,3,2,1) takes you to the detail screen for each of the frames in the stacked moulding feature.

3. View All takes you to the Layered Frame feature where you can choose up to five stacked frames, liners, and fillets.

4. Quantity OH (on Hand) shows how much footage you have in stock of this moulding. This is the field that shows total amount of footage using the automatic inventory feature.

5. Stock field shows how much footage you have either in total or by stick. This is notated manually. Being able to see the information on this screen allows you to promise a rush order while with a customer. Changes to this inventory will also change the related field the Price Codes file.

6. Location field for footage using manual inventory feature. Changes to this inventory will also change the related field the Price Codes file.

7. Price Per Foot is listed here in case the customer wants to know this information. This information comes from the Price Codes file.

8. Minimum Footage comes from the Price Codes file and is specific to this particular moulding. If the footage required for the job falls below this number then FrameReady defaults to this number. You may wish to use this field if a vendor had a minimum footage charge.

9. Price Break for footage comes from the Price Codes file. The reason this information appears here is because you may want to adjust this just for this work order.

10. Price Break for surcharge comes from the Price Codes file. The reason this information appears here is because you may want to adjust this just for this work order.
Example: XYZ Moulding Co. offers closed corner frames. When a frame exceeds a certain footage, they have a surcharge. These charges need to be passed on to the customer.
