Foam
Foam: bun yield, fabrication, and the order
Foam margin is in the bun yield and the fabrication scrap. The quote used a yield from a square block. The order needed contours, and the offcuts did not become the next order’s material just because they were saved.
Saved is not the same as available for a real order.
What the open order has to show
- Buns issued to the order.
- Good pieces and scrap before the order is invoiced.
- Offcuts that can fill another order kept apart from scrap.
That is the same kind of gap as seeing the work while it is still open and quoting from a current cost.
The week the record is late
Two orders are nested in someone’s head on the same offcuts. The first order uses them. The second order buys a new bun the quote did not have.
Give the offcut one owner before the next order is promised. MFGMAX Furniture holds that record. Accounting can stay where it is. Other systems can connect. What moves, and when, is shown before you commit. MFGMAX keeps the job, the inventory, the price, and the balance on one record. Your accountant still closes the books. This is the history of what changed, not an audit opinion.

Buns issued to the order. Good pieces and scrap before the order is invoiced. Offcuts that can fill another order kept apart from scrap.
