Coil
This form type offers you the material quantity calculation for coils, so that this rather complex calculation needn't be calculated and documented outside FACTON.
The following example shows the use of a material quantity calculation:
Step 1: Create Should Cost Calculation
Further Information ► Create Should Cost Calculation
Step 2: Insert a Material (Mass)
By selecting the form type Coil and a corresponding geometric shape at the material, a more extended calculation logic becomes available.
You can insert the 
material
- as master data via using queries
- Insert your own material locally
or
The latter is shown in the following, because it illustrates the inputs required for calculation.
Insert a Local Material (Mass)
- Select the should cost calculation in the Structure view.
- Click on Edit ► Insert ► Insert New Local Material (Mass).
A local material is added under the should cost calculation.
- In the Details ► Calculation view, select the Coil form type.
For materials with form type Coil, the following geometric shapes are available:
| Geometric Shape | Image | Required Input |
|---|---|---|
| Strip |
