Two pages under Voorraadbeheer (Stock management) show where your timber goes. Rapportage (Reporting) shows usage and waste over a period. Zaag- en plaatnesting (Cutting and sheet nesting) shows per project which pieces come from offcuts and how much new material is needed. Both are part of the Houtvoorraad & Materiaalplanning (Timber stock & Material planning) add-on (€139 per month).
The Usage and waste report
- Go to Voorraadbeheer → Rapportage (Stock management → Reporting). You need the Voorraad bekijken (View stock) permission.
- Under Periode (Period) choose Deze maand (This month), Vorige maand (Last month), Dit kwartaal (This quarter), Dit jaar (This year) or Vrij kiezen (Custom) with a from and to date.
The tiles show what was cut (issued), what came back as offcuts, how many projects received material and the costs at the recorded cost price. You only see costs with the Bestellingen en leveringen bekijken (View orders and deliveries) permission. Below them are four blocks:
- Verbruik (Usage): timber issued per month over the last 12 months, and in the period per wood species and cross-section. It is net: issues minus returns from projects.
- Per project: planned according to the final timber and sheet list against what was issued in the period, with a status such as Zoals gepland (As planned), Meer verbruikt dan gepland (More used than planned) or Nog niet alles uitgegeven (Not everything issued yet).
- Afval (Waste): per running project the waste from the cutting plan, how much of it came back as offcuts and the Werkelijk verlies (Actual loss). If offcuts are switched off, it shows n/a.
- Omloop (Turnover): per item how long it has been idle and how long the stock will last, plus what was ordered most in the period.
Exporteren naar Excel (Export to Excel) downloads all blocks, each on its own sheet. Only beam timber and sheet material count. You also see the planned waste of a project on the Material tab of that project.
Cutting and sheet nesting per project
- Go to Voorraadbeheer → Zaag- en plaatnesting (Stock management → Cutting and sheet nesting). You need the Materiaalplanning per project bekijken (View material planning per project) permission.
- Choose a project with a timber or sheet list.
- Look at the tiles: cut pieces from offcuts, new bars and sheets, the waste of the beam timber and the new offcuts that go back into stock.
Beamcore uses the final list, or otherwise the newest provisional one. Under Balkhout (Beam timber) you see per cross-section which cut pieces come from which offcut, how many new bars are needed, the waste and what comes back as an offcut. Under Plaatmateriaal (Sheet material) you see per kind and thickness how many pieces and new sheets are needed, the waste and which sheet remnants you have in stock. How many pieces fit on a sheet remnant is a suggestion: sheet remnants are not yet used in the layout automatically.
Waste is the timber used minus the cut pieces minus what comes back as an offcut. Saw kerfs and leftovers shorter than the minimum length to keep count as waste.
Reserving offcuts
If offcuts are switched on in your company settings and the timber list is final, Reststukken reserveren (Reserve offcuts) reserves the offcuts from the cutting distribution for this project. What the list no longer needs is released; manual reservations stay in place. You need the Houtlijst importeren, reserveren en uitgeven (Import timber list, reserve and issue) permission for this.
