Paper & Cardboard
Paper & Cardboard: production orders and BOM, stock and warehouse, quality and reporting.
Challenges
- Recovered paper and pulp are booked as a single item despite differences in grade and moisture, so the true cost never emerges.
- Grammage and reel width are not defined as separate variants, so everything shows up as a single paper line in stock.
- Trim and waste go back into the pulp but are never recorded, so the gain from recycling stays invisible.
- The square-metre calculation in reel-to-sheet cutting is done by hand, so the shipped quantity leads to disputes with the customer.
Workflows
From recovered paper to pulp
- Recovered paper and pulp are weighed on the scale; the grade and the moisture deduction are entered on the purchase record.
- The input is received into stock with a lot number and consumed on the pulping work order.
- The resulting trim and waste return to the recovered-paper stock as a return movement, and the recycling rate is measured.
From reel to sheet
- The machine work order is opened with the grammage and reel width variant, and every reel gets a serial number.
- A cutting order converts the reel into sheets; the bill of materials handles the square-metre-to-kilogram conversion.
- The delivery note is issued with the reel serial numbers, so the customer sees exactly which roll they received.

FAQ
Can I apply moisture and quality deductions when buying recovered paper?
Yes. The deduction is subtracted from the gross weight on the weighbridge slip, and the supplier account is credited on the net quantity.
Can I keep grammage and reel width as separate stock items?
Yes. Every grammage-width combination is its own product variant, and stock and orders work at that level.
Can I see how much trim waste is recycled back?
Yes. The waste on the work order returns to the recovered-paper stock as a return movement, and the recycling rate appears in the report.
Can the system calculate the reel-to-sheet conversion?
Yes. The cutting order runs the square-metre and kilogram conversion through the bill of materials and produces the sheet count.
Can I find out which reel went to which customer?
Yes. The reel serial number is written on the delivery note, so in case of a complaint it can be traced back to the work order.
