This article describes the quality settings for carpet and velvet machines. The settings are available via the Qualities module:

  1. Open the Qualities module: under Definitions (section SCHEDULING), open Quality related, then Qualities.
  2. In the top right corner, click and the Settings.

 

The Quality settings consist of two tabs:


General tab

Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.


Name generation patternDefines the automatic naming pattern for qualities. See this article: Name generation pattern.
Margin for dents of missing designs *

The maximum allowed difference in dents when updating design dimensions (e.g. through ERP).

  • When set to 0, no width difference is tolerated.
  • When set higher, designs can be re-imported with a width deviation up to this margin without causing an error. This is not used for replacing design images.
Reed density *

Sets the unit used for displaying reed density values. Reed density is the number of dents per meter in the reed and determines the width resolution of the woven cloth. Typical values: 320–500 d/m.

Yarn consumption length *

Sets the unit for yarn consumption length calculations when computing how much yarn is needed for a production order.

Pick density *

Sets the unit for pick density values (picks per length unit).

Allow pick density overwrite in production order

Use this option to control whether the Practical pick density may be changed in a carpet production order.

  • If enabled, users can manually enter another practical pick density when creating a production order, e.g. for sampling.
  • If disabled, the production order uses the practical pick density defined in the quality or machine-specific quality exception, and the field cannot be edited in the production order.
Buggy length *

Sets the unit for buggy length to m or picks.

Weft density *

Sets the unit for weft density (wefts per length unit).

Tolerance *

Sets the unit for length/width tolerances used in production order verification.

Pile height *

Sets the unit for pile height to mm or cm.


Finishing tab

Name generation patternDefines the automatic naming pattern for finishings that can be created in the Finishings tab when creating a quality. See this article: Name generation pattern.
