Quote & Cut Enterprise adds advanced business tools for managing material sheet stock and keeping material prices aligned with market movements.

Enterprise requirements #

- Quote & Cut installed and active.

Where Enterprise settings appear #
Enterprise adds settings in a few places.
Sheet Inventory settings appear in:
Quote & Cut → Settings → Sheet Inventory
Enterprise also adds extra fields to the material table in:
Quote & Cut → Settings → Materials
These fields include:
- Market Index Type.
- Sheet Stock.
- Last Market Refresh.
To change which market index a material follows, edit the material’s Type under Edit details.
WooCommerce email settings for stock alerts are configured in:
WooCommerce → Settings → Emails
Sheet Inventory #
Sheet Inventory lets you track how many sheets are available for each material.
When a Quote & Cut order is placed, Enterprise can reduce sheet stock based on the sheet usage calculated for the job.
If an order is later cancelled, refunded, failed, trashed, or deleted, Enterprise can restore the stock.
Material Market Indexing #
Material Market Indexing uses each material’s Material Type to decide which market index the material follows.
The mapping is:
- Aluminium → Aluminium index.
- Carbon Steel → Carbon Steel index.
- Galvanised Steel → Carbon Steel index.
- Stainless Steel → Stainless Steel index.
- Other → Not indexed.
When automatic weekly updates are enabled, indexed materials can be repriced using the Quote & Cut market-index feed.
Materials set to Other are skipped.
Important before going live #
Enterprise features can affect stock tracking and material pricing.

- Check your material list.
- Enter accurate sheet stock values.
- Confirm your order status workflow.
- Configure stock alert emails.
- Decide which materials should use market indexing.
