6. Materials
In the Materials screen, the user can view or create materials and the specifications of each of them.
Click on Management View – Configuration – Materials.
The fields in this window are:
Material code: This is a short code, an abbreviation of the material. For example, Adit01 for Additive 1.
Family: Indicates if it is an Additive, Aggregate, Cement or Water.
It is important to enter this data correctly. The system uses it to calculate the total amount of water and
cement and the Water/Cement Ratio in the formulas.
Density: Indicates the density of the specified material.
Type: This data is a technical characteristic of the material.
Class and Mark: Commonly used for the additives and the cement.
Moisture Percentage: Used for aggregates. According to the % humidity, the quantity of water to supply
will be reduced.
% Error permitted.
For the additives, a checkbox appears where the user can indicate whether the value of the additive is
absolute or per thousand parts of cement.
7. Corrections
Batching Manual
In certain cases, the properties of a material change or the material used is changed and it is necessary to
add or remove a certain number of kilos from a certain material in all the formulas. To avoid having to
repeat this action for each and every one of the formulas, there is the correction feature, which carries out
this task for all of the formulas that meet the indicated condition.
Click Management View – Configuration – Corrections.
First, select the desired material in the material code field.
There are two types of correction:
Absolute: Modifies by X kilograms all the formulas that contain the selected material.
Percentage: Modifies by X % all the formulas that contain this material.
The correction can be either positive or negative, adding or subtracting the quantity.
For example, in the case of selecting Cem01, 2 kg and absolute type, we would indicate that the program
should increase by 2 kg per cubic metre the Cem01 material in all the formulas. If percentage was chosen,
an additional 2 % of material would be loaded.
8. Dispatch note series
Management View – Configuration – Delivery note series
The dispatch note series serve to differentiate dispatch notes of different types or, if there exists more than

This system is used to export the dispatch notes to a head office.
In the table of commercial product codes there is a invoicing code, commercial product code, for each
formula.
For example, for the plant formula number 1, the código de commercial product code, or invoicing code,
could be 1234.
Invoicing has its own product invoicing codes.
It often happens that when the dispatch notes for a certain formula are transmitted, they do not have any
commercial product code assigned. For this reason, the invoicing process revises all of the dispatch notes
before carrying out the export and, if it detects that some of them do not have a commercial product code it
warns the user, who can go to the commercial products table and assign one.
After assigning this code, the process is run again and, detecting that the formula now has commercial
code, corrects all of the dispatch notes that contain this formula, allowing you to export the invoice.
