Breakdown of the Excel spreadsheet 

BUZ Software utilises Excel to create a Job sheet, work order Sheet / Work Order / Order formForm. The details from an order can be arranged in a way that helps your workflow.

There is a A few defined names that are required to allow the "Job sheet" to work with BUZ.

  • Check Measure - If required, it can be set up similar similarly to the Jobsheet, ; you may want extra space for installers to add measurements or other written information.

  • Tickets - if there is a requirement to have a page print per item , rather than a table with all the items.

  • Labels - If you use a Zebra label machine, you can have BUZ print out labels that assist with production.

  • Components - This tab is designed as a Bill of Materials or recipe for taking components from stock for inventory control and reordering purposes.

  • Deductions - If there is a deduction or a table of helpful information that is useful for other calculations, we would advise putting it here.

Job Sheet Considerations 

  • Job Sheets are processed left to right and top to bottom. Excel will sometimes compensate for not sticking to this rule but Aspose, the program BUZ uses to generate the PDF's from Excel does not. So this means that a sheet cannot refer to cells on another sheet to the right of the current one because it will not have it values calculated at that point in the process.

  • Some pages in the job sheet will include a table of products (red square in the image below) requested in Order. This table has been designed to expand vertically if there are more products than the standard table size.

    Image Added

    The tables are produced from left to right, then top to bottom. This means that formulas that reference the table will need to be done in a sequence, as the table may generate extra rows and mess up your formula.

    You can find out more about how the BUZ order produces the sheets Job Sheet - What order does the sheet load in?

    Another consideration is that Cells in the body of the job sheet

    (the area that grows when number of line items exceed template) must NOT BE MERGED

    To spread text across multiple cells:

    1. Select the cells value is to spread across on the first row.

    2. Right click, select Format Cells, Alignment and Centre Across Selection and then copy down.

    Formating for Inches (Fractions)

    2. Right click cell(s), select Format Cells, Number

    3. Select Category: Fraction

    4. Select desired Type

    Note: If format doesn't work it is because Excel treats the number as text so type +0 on the end and that forces Excel to treat it as a number. should not be merged. Only one of the cells will populate, and the merged column will have no value.

    Job Sheet Formula Explanations

    Formula The formula used to produce a “due date” date.”

    for a Supplier / Factory  that doesn’t equal a weekend date and is 2 or 3 days prior to your Follow Up date (Install Date)

    Step 1: Follow-up date -3 for expected complete production date =LEFT(Data!BA5,10)-3

    followup-date -3, picking up 10 to the left to only select the date

    Step 2: Date Formula;    =IF(WEEKDAY(AB2,2)=6,AB2+2,IF(WEEKDAY(AB2,2)=7,AB2+1,AB2))  

    If the follow-up date equals Saturday, then the follow-up date plus 2 two days
