Warehouse	A storage location for rolled metal. Its function is storage.
Production area	A location for temporarily placing material for production documents. Not for permanent storage.
Profile	A metal product with parameters — designation, name, material, standard.
Part	A structural element with a defined length, profile, cut angles and restrictions.
Material	The type of metal or alloy a profile is made of. Affects cutting parameters, part compatibility and order generation.
Stock bar	An element of a given length, to be cut up.
Remnant	A leftover after cutting that is long enough to be worth using again.

Term	Definition
Project	A metal-cutting order combining several drawing sets.
Drawing set (code)	A bound collection of drawings submitted to production.
Cutting stage	A part of a project allocated for separate production.

Term	Definition
Part length	The natural length of the part. This is what participates in cutting when a CNC machine is selected.
Blank length	The length that results from cutting on a bandsaw. KRON determines the predominant angle at the end and may build it up, which makes the blank longer than the part.

Term	Definition
Batch	A group of items received on a single document. The batch number matches the receipt document number.
SKU	The identifier shared by every warehouse item with identical geometry and material.
Mark	A unique number stamped on a remnant at the moment of production, in `10-10-10` format. Serves as its batch number and permanent identifier.
