# Record use, a cut, condition and scrap Keep a remeasured remainder, inspect old-label history, record whole use, and retain condition and scrap reasons. Source: https://help.smartfact.ai/offcutbench/guides/use-cut-and-condition Audience: Operator ## Keep a remainder and read the old label 1. **Import a prepared rack** Import a prepared rack. This synthetic backup enters the ordinary strict restore path. It has aluminium and steel pieces, including damaged and unchecked ones. 2. **Ask for two blanks** Ask for two blanks. Each blank needs its own blade-width allowance. 3. **Set the finished length** Set the finished length. Use 600 mm for each blank. 4. **Read the cut allowances** Read the cut allowances. Required length is N × (finished + extra) + N × blade width + trim + buffer. This rack uses 0, 3, 10 and 0 mm respectively. 5. **Run the search** Run the search. Two 600 mm blanks need 1216 mm with these reviewed defaults. A 1248 mm guaranteed piece leaves 32 mm spare. Damaged and unchecked pieces are excluded. 6. **Scan a piece label** Scan a piece label. A keyboard scanner or typed full OBP1 code looks up only this loaded rack. This is a synthetic value, not a live scanner check. 7. **Record a completed cut** Record a completed cut. Only record a cut after checking the physical piece. Search results alone do not authorise it. 8. **Remeasure the remainder** Remeasure the remainder. Enter a new measurement of 34 mm. Do not use a calculated leftover as a measurement. Its 32 mm guaranteed length is below the keep suggestion, but it may still be kept. 9. **Confirm the physical check** Confirm the physical check. In this lesson the piece is synthetic. In real work, this confirmation is your own recorded check. 10. **Keep a newly labelled remainder** Keep a newly labelled remainder. The parent becomes consumed, and the remainder gets a new identifier, measurement and label. 11. **Scan the consumed parent label** Scan the consumed parent label. The old barcode opens its history and points to the remainder. The consumed piece cannot be used again. 12. **Read the completed cut history** Read the completed cut history. The original measurement and recorded cut remain in the append-only local history.

This second piece is available and sound. Use whole records its complete consumption. 2. **Record whole-piece use** Record whole-piece use. An optional job reference can explain the use. It is not independent production evidence. 3. **Confirm the physical check** Confirm the physical check. In this lesson the piece is synthetic. In real work, this confirmation is your own recorded check. 4. **Confirm whole-piece consumption** Confirm whole-piece consumption. The old label now opens the used record, without offering another use.

Damaged pieces are retained on the list but never recommended by a search. A checkbox in search cannot change their condition. 2. **Record a physical condition check** Record a physical condition check. A real condition change needs an explicit inspection and reason. 3. **Set the checked condition** Set the checked condition. The practice inspection changes damaged to sound. Real work must use the condition actually observed. 4. **Record the inspection reason** Record the inspection reason. The previous condition and this reason stay in history. 5. **Confirm the physical check** Confirm the physical check. In this lesson the piece is synthetic. In real work, this confirmation is your own recorded check. 6. **Save the condition check** Save the condition check. Download an updated label before returning a changed piece to the rack. 7. **Record a scrap decision** Record a scrap decision. Scrapping retains the old facts and removes this piece from the available list. 8. **Give the scrap reason** Give the scrap reason. Record why the physical piece was discarded. 9. **Confirm the physical check** Confirm the physical check. In this lesson the piece is synthetic. In real work, this confirmation is your own recorded check. 10. **Confirm scrap** Confirm scrap. The reason remains in the piece history. 11. **Download the changed rack backup** Download the changed rack backup. This genuine saved-project JSON includes consumed pieces, the new remainder, the condition change and scrap history.
