Paper Industries

Introduction

For mostly paper industries, they have to calculate the total weight in KG converted from different packing size like REAM, PKT or MT. This total weight will be printed in the sales order, delivery order and tax invoice.

Beside that, they also use to arrange the transporter based on the delivery place and total weight to load.

1. Stock Master Data.

Types	Field Name	Data Types	Length	Usage
STD	Code	String	30	Product Code, eg. ACGAAA100SK-31004300
STD	Description	String	200	Product Name, eg. Matt A/Paper China
STD	2nd Description	String	200	Paper packaging size to be display in sales tax invoice, eg. 100gsm 31" x 43"
STD	Base UOM	String	10	stock unit of measurement, usually either enter as REAM or MT or PKT
DIY	GSM	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 2	GSM value for Weight KG calculation
DIY	Width	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 2	Width value for Weight KG calculation
DIY	Length	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 2	Length value for Weight KG calculation
DIY	PKT	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 2	PKT value for Weight KG calculation
DIY	Weight_MT	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 4	Weight MT value
DIY	Weight_KG	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 4	Weight Kgs value

2. Formula:

Weight KG = ((GSM x Width x Length)/3100)/PKT 
Weight MT = Weight KG/1000 


Both formula results are rounding up to 4 decimals.

3. Under Tools | DIY | SQL Control Center...Browse to Stock | Stock Item and insert OnBeforeSave event with the DIY Script below:

 Var M : TDataSource;
 
 begin
   M := TDataSource(Self.FindComponent('dsAccess'));
   M.DataSet.Edit;
   M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Weight_KG').Value := SimpleRoundToEx((((M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_GSM').AsFloat* 
                                                 M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Width').AsFloat* 
                                                 M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Length').AsFloat)/3100)/M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_PKT').AsFloat),-4);
                                                
   M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Weight_MT').Value := SimpleRoundToEx((M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Weight_KG').AsFloat/1000),-4);                                                  
                                              
 end.
