Logistics ​

The Logistics view provides an overview of material requirements across your constructibles, helping you track which parts are available and which still need to be prepared.

Layout ​

The screen is laid out like the panel viewer:

• The table, with the branch and size pickers above it. Nothing else — what chooses the list stays with the list.
• The toolbar, a column beside it, holding the part batch, the search, the sorting, the columns, Set all parts ready and every message the view has to give you.
• The part panel, showing the drawing and the properties of the part you picked in the table.

The top button in the toolbar opens and closes the part panel: with it closed the table takes the whole width. The choice is remembered on the device.

On a phone the toolbar becomes a bar at the bottom of the screen; press the chevron and it opens upwards.

Material Tracking ​

The table shows each material part needed for production, organized by:

A totals line at the bottom sums up rows, parts, ready, pending and the overall percentage.

Sorting ​

Click any column header to sort by it, and shift-click a second header to sort by both. Zone and reference sort naturally, so Z2 comes before Z10 and reference 9 before 114.

The Sort menu has four ready-made orders:

• Longest first — the default, for cutting at the saw.
• Reference A-Z — to find a specific part.
• Pending first — to see what is still missing.
• Zone then reference — the kitting order.

The same menu switches between Group by zone, where each zone is a header row with its own progress and the sorting applies inside it, and Flat list, where the order applies to the whole table. Projects without zones always use the flat list.

Your sorting, grouping, density and hidden columns are remembered on the device.

Filtering ​

• Branch — Switch between viewing plate materials or profile materials.
• Size — Filter to a specific material size. One at a time: this is a production view, and a run at the saw is one size.
• Search — Filter the table by reference, zone or material.
• Hide completed — Leave only the rows with parts still pending.

Columns ​

The table only shows columns that say something different on each row. When every part in the list is the same material — which is what usually happens, since you pick a branch and a size before the list appears — the Material column is dropped and the material is written once above the table, as a chip. The same goes for Finish, Comment and, on plates, Width.

Columns you can turn on and off yourself are in the Columns menu, together with the row density.

Selecting from a Report ​

Above the panel list, Select from report takes the selection of a report and loads it into the menu: pick one and the assemblies and modules it has selected are ticked for you.

Only reports marked as final are listed — a document still being worked on is not something to produce against — so the button is not there at all when the project has no final report yet.

Part Batches ​

A part batch is a run of work: the parts you are about to cut, from the moment you start until you finish and put the leftover material back.

The batch block sits at the top of the toolbar:

1. Pick a batch in the selector, if somebody prepared one for you in the parts list. Picking it makes the table show that batch and nothing else.
2. Start production — with no batch picked, this creates one out of what is on the table (your selection, the branch and the size) and starts it. Start batch does the same for the batch you picked. Either way, who started it and when are recorded, and from then on the counters work. Before that, the counters are locked and Set all parts ready is not there. If those parts are already in a batch that has been started, that batch is opened and resumed instead of a second one being started over the same work — one press, whether it was left running or paused.
3. While it runs, the bar shows the progress of the whole batch and the time worked. Pause stops the clock; the counters lock again until you resume.
4. Finish batch — or marking the last pending part — opens the form for the material that goes back to stock.

Several batches can run at the same time, and you can switch between them whenever you want. If you leave a running batch — by picking another one, by changing the selection, or by navigating away — you are asked whether to pause the one you are leaving, exactly like leaving a panel with an open checklist in the viewer.

Nothing happens automatically overnight: a batch stays open until somebody pauses or finishes it.

Material returned to stock ​

The closing form asks only for what comes back, in the units you buy it in:

• Returned whole — bars or sheets that go back unopened.
• Remnants — the usable offcuts, with their length (and width, for sheets).
• Scrap — what is thrown away.
• Rack — where you leave it, and a free notes field.

If the bar length or sheet size you used is not in the list, type it and it is added to your product catalogue, so next time it is already there.

Closing with Nothing to return is a normal outcome and needs no explanation.

Produuz.it does not keep stock levels: this declaration is sent onwards, to the system that does.

Where the batches live ​

Part batches lists them all: status, production line, project, progress, start, finish, time worked and who ran them. Clicking the name opens a panel on the right with the batch in full — its parts, its work sessions and the material declared as returned — and the buttons to open it in the logistics view, pause or resume it, finish it and reopen it.

The view is in two places: in the company menu, where it lists every batch of the company, and in the project menu, where it lists only the batches of that project and drops the project column. Switching between All projects and a project keeps you on the list.

The production line is changed from that panel. It is the only field of a batch you can edit there, and it is saved as soon as you pick it.

Batches can also be composed by hand from the Parts list, by selecting parts and assigning them to a batch. That is the place to build a batch that mixes several sizes: the logistics view always works on one size at a time.

Marking Parts Ready ​

You can update the "ready parts" count for each material to track preparation progress:

• Click on the number to type it, or use the − and + buttons.
• Use the Set all parts ready button to mark everything currently listed as ready. It asks for confirmation first. Without a batch it only affects the rows you can see — so searching or hiding completed rows narrows it down — while with a batch running it marks the whole batch, and says so.

Kitted Parts ​

A kit is everything a panel is built from. While its parts are still being cut, the panel cannot be assembled — and the production list now says so.

What production sees ​

On the panel list in the viewer, each panel carries one label:

There is only ever one label. A panel with no parts recorded shows none, because there is nothing to report about a kit that does not exist. If a panel is started while parts are still missing, the count stays on the row in red.

Where the count comes from ​

A panel is kitted when all of its parts are marked ready in the logistics table. Parts that were replaced by a newer revision do not count — they are no longer part of the panel.

A module is kitted when every panel it contains has been built, and its own loose parts are ready. A module cannot be assembled until its panels physically exist, so a panel that merely has a complete kit is not enough.

Choosing who decides ​

Company settings → Kitted parts has three options:

On Manual, two things appear:

• when every part of a panel you have selected becomes ready, a line appears above the logistics table naming those panels, with a button to mark them;
• every panel in the logistics menu shows its kit progress, with a tick beside it to mark that one panel. Use this when you know the kit is fine even though the counts disagree — an offcut used, a part cut outside the flow.

Marking a kit by hand never changes a panel's production status.

Starting a panel that is not ready ​

If you start a panel whose parts are not all cut, the viewer says so and tells you how many are missing. You can always carry on — it is a warning, not a block. It appears once, when the panel is started, and not again when you move to the next station.

In the Constructibles list ​

The Constructibles list gains a Kit column showing the same thing as a fraction — 12/25, ✓ 25/25, or — when the panel has no parts. It sorts, so you can put the panels closest to ready at the top.

On the dashboard ​

Ready to build shows everything still to be built, per production line, split into what can be built now, what is partly cut, what has not been cut yet, and what has no parts recorded at all. The big number on top is what your factory could start today.

It sits next to Active backlog, which answers a different question: that one says where your panels are in production, this one says whether their material is there. A line with forty panels waiting and five kits complete has a material problem, not a production one.

Part Drawings ​

When a part is selected, the right panel shows its drawings — combined, front, top, left and section views — for quick reference on the workshop floor.

Only views that show real features (cutouts, holes, bevels, non-rectangular profiles) are produced. If a particular view would just be a plain rectangle, it's skipped — the dimensions in the table already convey that. A part with no features at all gets no drawings.

For wood parts that aren't straight prisms (parts with cutouts, bevels or mitres), an extra 3D button appears next to the drawing views. Clicking it opens the isolated part in an interactive 3D viewer, so any feature that's hard to read on a 2D drawing can be inspected directly. The button only shows up when this 3D model is available.

Connection to Other Features ​

• Material requirements are derived from the designs and their BoM data.
• The Delivery & Racks feature uses the logistics data to plan how completed assemblies are loaded for transport.
• Reports can generate Bills of Materials for ordering the materials tracked here.
