Activity history 1
- Request opened. Example drawing FW-204 selected.
How this price is calculated
Unit price = material + $16 machining + optional $8 finish. Setup depends on material. Quantities of 100 or more receive 10% off production. Rush adds 25% after the volume discount and setup.
Rush work and quantities above 500 need a human approval. Editing a request clears its previous calculation and approval. An order can only be prepared once.
The workflow, at a glance
Validated inputs, explicit approval and a traceable quote become one local order.
- Enter a drawing reference, material, quantity and lead time.
