New Task

Not used in any calc yet.

Display name for this finishing/production task (e.g. "Guillotine trim", "Cello laminate").
Short unique code used internally and in exports. No spaces.
Optional label/sticker product this task applies to. Leave "None" for a general task.
Optional imposition (how many pieces fit per sheet) this task uses to work out sheet counts.
Prices the cost/time matrices by number of sets instead of sheets — pairs with the calc's Set Size (e.g. banding each of 25 staff-card sets: matrix qty axis = 25). Imposition is ignored for per-set tasks. With Set Size 1, per-set = per-piece.
Number of setups/passes for the one-off charge (a count). One-off cost = Setup × Cost. Use 0 for no one-off charge.
$ per setup — multiplied by Setup to give the flat one-off charge. Per-quantity pricing comes from the Cost Matrix below, not this field.
What the one-off above is. Prepress happens once for the job however many press passes it takes; make-ready happens once per process. Only read by the Setup Split review — it does not change any price. Leave untagged on tasks with no one-off.
Fill in both fields only if this task converts sheets between sizes (e.g. trim SRA3 down to SRA5). Used to validate that the workflow has the right trim/convert task between passes of different sheet sizes. Leave blank for tasks that don't change sheet size.
Add a row per size-conversion this task covers. Same matrix applies to all listed pairs.
Plain-English description of what this task does. Helps Q write invoice descriptions, route jobs to the right board lane, and assign the right staff. Cover: what it produces, what equipment it needs, and any prerequisites.

Cost Matrix enter unit or total — the other auto-fills

Qty Unit Cost Total Cost (at qty)

Time Matrix unit/total are time × rate — editing them back-solves the time

Qty Time (min) Rate ($/min) Unit Cost Total Cost (at qty)
