Before you begin
Who this is for: Quoting users preparing a new estimate.
The original single-run Han’s LaserNest quotation workbook, up to 2 MB.
1. Choose a supported workbook
Open Quoting and select the file under Import the cutting report. The supplied format supports XLSX content sometimes saved with an .xls extension. Renaming an unrelated workbook will not make it compatible. One report is used per quotation.
2. Check the stock and units
Compare material, thickness and full-sheet dimensions with the original report. Dimensions shown in the import are millimetres. Confirm that the stock size is the full sheet, not only the area occupied by the nest.
3. Compare requested and nested parts
Read the part table. Requested quantity and nested quantity can differ. The estimate and customer batch price use the nested quantities. Resolve an incorrect nest in the source software and export a corrected report.
4. Read warnings and suggested values
Check processing time and every warning. A blank reference or sheet price may be filled from the report. Confirm the currency and whether the report material charge is a suitable basis for your actual sheet cost.
5. Confirm the source review
Tick I reviewed the imported parts, quantities, millimetre units and report warnings. Continue to pricing. This check is separate from the final costing review required before saving.
Check your result
The imported part counts and stock match your intended job. If they do not, stop and correct the source rather than pricing an inaccurate quantity.
