How to price "Chop Service" mouldings in Estlite

Post by Bagpuss »

If anyone regularly uses the Chop Service from Lion (for example), can you tell me how this is setup within Estlite please ? I want to do a lot more "Chop" in the future .
Thanks in advance,
Adam/Bagpuss

Hi Adam,
You could make your own price list for chop, and put that into Estlite, I have with hand-finishing, so you can input all the details such as Moulding ref, price, description, width and markup and supplier id. and just call it CM (Chop Moulding) I called mind HP (Hand Painted). I keep a back-up or master copy of all the price list on an external Hard Drive. If you open the one called My which came with the program, it has all the titles along the top of the columns, then you just enter the relevant details, when you have entered everything Save As and call it CM, once you have saved it just drag the file across to Estlite interface (the bit you see on the monitor) and it will be added to it. so when pricing for a chop moulding just enter as normal ie type in cm.12346 and the price will appear, I would still use the suppliers code for the moulding, then it's easy to do your ordering.
Hope that helps
