A cross-section draws every profile of the unit side by side across the wall: frame, sash, beads, screen, glass. Assembly pairs say where each profile sits across the wall on the profile that holds it – the sash on its frame, a bead on its sash (or on the frame of a fixed lite), a […]
OJ Setup → Parts → Bulk CAD import reads a supplier’s DWG / DXF drawings or PDF part drawings with AI and gives your profile parts their cross-section picture, their A / B / C dimensions and their profile shape – in one go instead of profile by profile. Before you start The Drawing LLM […]
When the aluminium market price moves, every profile’s cost has to change with it. Rather than re-typing each part, Stock Management carries a Cost per [LB / KG] field with a Go button: enter the current price per unit weight, and the profiles in your current filter are re-costed in one action. What Go does For each […]
Create and change cost groups in OJ Setup → Product Setup → Cost Groups. The list on the left shows each group’s ID and Description; the selected one is shown on the right. Open How a cost group works at the top of the screen for a short explanation, and hover any ⓘ for help […]
A cost group and a price group are named sets of rounding rules. A part or a glass (sealed unit) type points at one of each, through the Cost Group and Price Group (or $ Group) combos; an option choice has a Price Group only (its Cost UOM field is a unit of measure, not […]
When a supplier sends a new price list, OJ Setup → Parts updates many parts at once from a spreadsheet instead of editing them one by one. Two buttons in the bar under the part details do it: Download cost template (arrow down) and Import costs (arrow up). What, where, who, when, why What A […]
Guided setup walks you through a product series one plain question at a time, in the words of a salesperson, not an engineer. You answer by ticking choices, filling a small form, or typing a sentence that the AI turns into the form. Nothing reaches the series until you (or the setup owner) write it, […]
A matrix is a lookup table the pricing/costing engine consults during order entry: given two inputs (a width and a height, an option answer and a dealer group, …) it returns a value — a price, a size adjustment, a commission rate, an error or warning, or a pointer to another matrix. This screen builds […]
Options are the questions a product can ask during configuration (“Glass Type”, “Grid Type”, “Hardware”); choices are the answers a user can pick (“Clear”, “Low-E”, “Tinted”). For each choice you define its identity, its pricing, its cost, and how the resulting part is processed in production. Options are attached to series and referenced by rules; […]
Each tab has its own local New / Edit / Save / Cancel / Delete buttons that act on that tab’s records only. What, where, who, when, why What The nine configuration tabs behind the Series screen’s Header: Shapes, Openings, Open/Shape pricing, Family, Coupler/Mullion, Designs, RO Adj, Glazing Thickness, Rules — the record sets that […]
A series is a product line / extrusion profile system. Pricing, designs, and the rules that pick parts are all defined per series. The Series screen is the administrative home of a series: its identity and defaults on the Header tab, and everything that makes it buildable on nine more tabs. What, where, who, when, […]
A sub-routine is a series that is not sold directly but is reused by other series’ configuration: an Options Sub-Routine is attached to options, a Rules Sub-Routine is fired by rules. What, where, who, when, why What The same Series screen opened in sub-routine mode — create/edit reusable option bundles and rule libraries, and mark […]
OJ Setup (Administration) is where product configuration is maintained. Its side menu groups the screens; the PRODUCT SETUP group holds Options, Parts, Matrix, Series, and Sub-Routines. This part covers Series, Sub-Routines, Options, and Matrix. Click the ☰ button at the top of the menu to collapse it to an icon rail when a wide screen […]
You can charge paint by the painted face of each profile: put a rate on the colour answer (e.g. $0.321 per inch of face per foot), give each profile its painted face width (e.g. Face Out 7.485″), and OpenJanela adds rate × face to the profile’s cost per foot, then multiplies by the cut length […]
Two ways to cost paint without a rate on the colour answer, both in real use: (A) a separate painted profile part with its own, higher cost per foot, whose stock code carries colour slots; and (B) painting labour parts added by rules only when the colour is not the standard one, routed to the […]
OJ Setup → Parts can create many new parts at once – a supplier’s catalogue, a new series – from a spreadsheet. Two buttons in the bar under the part details: Download import template (table icon) and Import parts (plus icon). The import only creates parts; it never changes an existing part (use the cost […]
Everything a window or door is made of is a part: one row in the parts table, created and changed in OJ Setup → Product Setup → Parts. Every BOM line, cut-list row and price on an order points back to one of these rows. This chapter says what a part holds field by field, […]
Create and change price groups in OJ Setup → Product Setup → Price Groups. Open How a price group works at the top of the screen for a short explanation, and hover any ⓘ for help on one field. Full details and examples are in Cost groups and price groups. What, where, who, when, why […]
The screen for creating and editing an inventory part. One tabbed screen with a single Save that persists the record together with its suppliers and warehouse locations in one transaction (all-or-nothing). What, where, who, when, why What The create/edit screen for an inventory part: header (code, UOMs, family, reorder points), costing/pricing, its supplier rows and […]
A surcharge is an extra charge that changes over time while your part cost stays the same — a Tariff Surcharge or an Energy Surcharge. Each active surcharge adds its own line to every quote that is not yet confirmed, at its percent of the net price of the products it applies to. Part cost […]
