Print different calculated

welcome in this video we're going to take a look at calculation formulas and how a user can create their own calculation formulas in our printviz business central system if you remember from a previous video the calculation formulas are used at various points throughout the system setup such as on the calculation units for figuring out the amount of paper or the amount of ink or other items used on a job they can also be used in the cost center configurations to set up things such as run speeds and other items needed for calculations to access the calculation formulas in our print business business central system we simply search for calculation formulas or calc form and it brings up our print viz calculation formula list as an option this list is all of the formulas that are available in the system both the system formulas that cannot be edited and any user created formulas system formulas are in the range from 1 to 999 and the user calculated formulas or user created formulas should be created in the range anything above the code of 1000. you'll notice that if we open one of these codes below 1000 i'm not able to edit it even if i click on the button it will let me or it shows when i try to make the change it tells me that this is a system formula and that it cannot be modified so it asks you to revert the change and it goes back to the original format if this was a user-generated formula such as one of the ones in above 1000 i can open that formula i can click my pencil and i could edit my formula here generally you won't be editing the formulas if there is a problem with a formula you may go in and change it once it has been created to create a new formula you simply click new and the calculation formula setup page is presented in the top you have your calculation formula code it's generally a good idea to separate these out using the codes for instance 1000 could be generic anything in the five thousands could be press related and so on like that i'm going to use a code of 8 000 80 000 just because i know that's not a range that we currently have a code in and i'm going to pick a name here for this this is going to be just a simple formula so we'll just do test formula and then my unit the unit is the unit of measure for it this is how it's going to be presented so if you are wanting to do square feet or inches or gallons or a custom unit you can select that at this point i'm just going to select pounds and then my use user formula type this specifies the type of formula that it is if i'm using a combination formula it's going to be as you can see my options down here change based on the type of formula that i select my combination formula allows me to build a formula based on any number of other formulas and any constants that are available or that i can key into the system i can do a field lookup in which case this is strictly going to look up an item based on the table or fields that i select any user fields that i have set up in my system and we will talk about user fields in another video i can select any of my available user fields from those jobs conditional if i want to have a specific formula i can set it to where uh if i have a quantity and it will run a specific quantity it gets one formula for a different quantity it gets a different formula and i can also select my conditional uh formula there i can use a report which will allow me to select a specific report to run at a given time any field is probably one of the more useful ones this allows me to create a formula that has that reaches out to any table and any field on those tables the drawback to the any field formula type is that you do have to have a developer's license in order to access that formula type and then a code unit i can select any code unit and run any code unit this is similar to the report aspect and is one of the lesser used formula types to start off with i'm going to create an any field unit i'm going to select the item table and then i'm going to select any field from my item in this case i'm going to select the field 60 10069 this will populate the caption for that field and i can see that on here it is the real length so this is pulling from the item card in uh in this case it's pulling from the print viz paper section and it's strictly going to pull in the length of the reel for any roll stock that i have entered into my system and once that's in i just hit back and so if i scroll all the way down to the bottom there's my test formula of 8 80 000. to create a new formula to use that test field i can create a new formula we're going to say square feet so it's going to take it's going to be a combination i'm going to leave it as normal i'm going to copy or insert formula width i'm going to grab the width final format i'm going to click more options more options shows you your operators that you can select for the formula in this case i'm going to do the width times my eight thousand eighty thousand so that should give me the total area used off of that uh that item or of that item it's going to grab the width of my final format and it's going to multiply it times that real length and then i hit back now to assign that calculation formula to a calculation unit i'd go into my calculation units and edit my operation if i want to just test it and see how well it does i can simply go into one of my quotes this is going to want to roll stock oh good this is a web press so i can select my paper item here and if i wanted to select my formula code of 90 000 i can hit 90 000 and it automatically populates in with that math and it also changes the unit to square feet and so that's how the calculation units work if you would like more information on the calculation units or have any additional questions please reach out to your printviz partner
