Classic items

Factory tenants only. Keep a delivered piece to make it again, with its drawings, units, steps and material.

Factory tenants only. Classic items appears for a factory. A restaurant or cafe tenant does not have this page.

A classic item is a piece the workshop makes again. It keeps the piece’s drawings, the units it goes through, the work steps at each unit, and the material for one piece. You find the list under Projects, then Classic items, in the side menu.

There are three ways to make one: add one by hand, save a delivered piece, or bring many in from a sheet.

Add a classic item by hand

Use this when the piece has not been delivered through Maska yet.

1. Press Add a classic item.
2. Write the name you will look for when you make it again. The name cannot be changed later.
3. Pick the kind of piece.
4. Under Goes through, pick the units in order, first to last. Use the arrows to move a unit up or down.
5. Fill Price each, HSN code and GST % if you know them. They can stay empty.
6. Press Add classic item.

The classic item opens at version 1, switched on.

Drawings, work steps and material are not added here. They are kept when a delivered piece is saved as this classic item’s new version. Until then, a piece started from it uses each unit’s own steps.

There is already a classic item with that name? Use another name. If the one with that name is switched off, find it under All and switch it on.

Save a delivered piece as a classic item

1. Open the project and find the piece. Every one of that piece must be delivered.
2. Press Save as a classic item.
3. Write the name you will look for when you make it again. The name cannot be changed later.
4. Read What is kept: how many drawings, units, steps and materials.
5. Press Save as a classic item.

Saving changes nothing on the project. It works on a closed project too.

What is kept:

• The drawings of that piece. A drawing of the whole project is not kept.
• The units the piece went through, in order.
• The steps each unit did on it.
• Material for one piece: what was given for the piece, divided by how many were made.

There is already a classic item with that name? The form asks. Press Save as its new version or Use another name.

Start a piece from a classic item

In New project, or when you add a piece, use Start from a classic item: type to find it and pick it. The units, the steps, the material list and the drawings come with it. The name, price and kind are filled in.

A repeat project needs no Design step, so the piece can go to the floor as soon as the advance is in and the project is good for production.

• On the artisan’s phone the piece shows the classic’s steps and its drawing.
• When material is given, the classic’s list is offered. Nothing is taken from the shelf until you give it.
• If a unit of the classic is switched off, the piece is made without that unit and the page says so.
• Once the piece has a drawing of its own, that drawing is shown in place of the classic’s.

Versions

A classic item does not change under the pieces already started from it.

• Change the details changes the words, the price and the kind of that version.
• A new route, new steps or new material come from a delivered piece saved as its new version.
• A new piece gets the newest version. Pieces already started keep theirs.

Switch off

Open the classic item and press Switch off. It is not offered when a piece is started. Pieces already started keep it. Classic items that are switched off are under All.

From a sheet

Classic items can also come in from a sheet. See Import clients and classic items.
