Labels
Label converting: the roll, the waste, and the job
A label job consumes a roll. The quote used a theoretical yield. The slitter wasted more, and the footage left on the core was never put back on a job.
Footage that is not on a job is not available, and it is not scrap. It is unassigned.
What the open job has to show
- Rolls issued to the job.
- Good labels and waste footage before the job closes.
- A partial roll either returned to stock or left on the job.
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 jobs are planned from one roll. The first job runs long. The second job starts and stops because the roll was never really free.
Decide where the leftover footage sits before the next job is released. 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.

Questions
What should stay on the open job?
Rolls issued to the job. Good labels and waste footage before the job closes. A partial roll either returned to stock or left on the job.
When should the job be compared with the quote?
