This article describes how to create a quality for carpet and velvet machines. The Qualities module is available under Definitions (section SCHEDULING), open Quality related, then Qualities.



Weave structures for double width are separated by a comma. Bottom, top and background weave structures are indicated with the letter B, T, respectively A in their name. (A from 'achtergrond' or 'arrière-plan')


When you use the quality for double width in a production order, the bottom carpet will be processed with the bottom weave structure (e.g. SL012B), the top with the top weave structure (e.g. SL012T) and the background (background rest, background free, ... ) with the background weave structure (e.g. SL012A).
Instructions to create a double width production order can be found in Create a double width production order.


To create a quality, click the Create new button .

Machines tab

Here you can choose the applicable machines for this quality, this will facilitate the creation of a production order later. 


Exceptions tab

You can create exceptions that only apply for certain machines or yarns (for yarn consumption calculations).


Selvedges tab

Appears after selecting a Weave structure for velvet machines. If the selvedges are not configured on the machine, you can specify them here.


Post-processing tab

This tab appears after selecting a Weave structure for velvet machines. Sometimes post-processing is necessary for velvet. You can specify the rules here.


Alternative qualities

This tab appears after selecting a Weave structure for carpet machines.

Select the alternative qualities that can be used.


Conditional designs tab

See Add conditional designs to a quality for more information.


Finishings tab

See Create a finishing for more information.


Optional settings tab

Some extra settings can be provided here. These settings are necessary to be able to calculate yarn consumption.



Optional settings

The settings Minimum buggy length, Maximum buggy length, Tolerance are used to have better suggestions when creating orders.


Commercial qualities

A commercial quality is identified by a Code and Name. Commercial qualities apply to the use of an ERP system.


Path widths

These settings also apply to the use of an ERP system.

Since we only have the commercial width of the designs, we calculate the technical width.

If the design is uploaded later, the width of the design should match the width of the Actual dents. If the number of calculated dents and actual dents are the same, you don't need to specify this.
