Fabrication and weld shops

The proposed model reserves and issues exact stock with heat, ownership and certificate lineage. Returns refer to the original issue and use the reviewed unit conversion. Customer-owned receipts and returns stay separate from purchased stock, and the customer’s material is not valued as the shop’s inventory.

Operators submit work evidence and tickets for the authorized supervisor or manager to review. Approved labor allocations, occupied machine time and frozen rates determine their respective cost entries. An employee tending several machines cannot be charged as several people for the same elapsed time.

A passed first article authorizes the defined continuation of work. It does not complete the rest of the run. Production quantities, inspection lots and final accepted quantities remain distinct, with holds and reinspection tied to the affected pieces.

Each dispatch and returned lot keeps its own quantity, promise and evidence. Acceptance releases the eligible returned portion while the unreturned or rejected balance remains visible. Certificate requirements must be resolved under the applicable policy before the lot is available.

The authored plan uses work resources, calendars and scheduled intervals with capacity and precedence checks. Production Manager reviews sequencing and proposed changes. Material readiness, inspection and job holds still govern whether work can start; a place on the schedule is not a release decision.

Eligible accepted pieces can be allocated to a partial shipment while other work continues. Reservations prevent another packing slip from consuming the same pieces. The dispatch must also satisfy the order allocation, revision, hold and certificate requirements.

The billing plan retains prior billed scope separately from cash collection. A final invoice accounts for all applicable deposit and progress billings, even if some are unpaid. Shipment and final billing cannot each charge the same obligation. Credits, refunds and payment returns have their own linked treatment.

There is no per-user fee. Ordinary manual work in the official interface is free; machine work, managed execution, model usage and retention beyond the included allowances follow the pricing contract. Implementation is priced separately. See the pricing page for the complete rates and account rules.
