Installer with matching remnants
Credit only stock assigned to actual cut destinations.
Enter reviewed full-width cut lines and distinct verified stock cuts per line.
No arbitrary area credit or automatic stock splicing is inferred.

A quick decision brief for this specific tool
Inputs that matter
Reviewed full-width cut lines, assigned stock, supplier increments/minimum/maximum and separate cushion scope
Output to expect
Reconcile installer-reviewed full-width cuts, assigned matching stock, supplier billing terms and separately measured cushion quantities.
How it works
Subtract per-line matching stock; round the continuous total or each separate cut to supplier billing terms
- No universal waste, pattern allowance, cut reuse or installation readiness is inferred.
- Keep exact source revisions, original measurement units, quote basis and independent Project records.

How it works
Updated August 2026Reviewed cut lines
Each line names a final full-width cut length, required count and distinct assigned stock cuts. Include all trim, pattern and defect provisions in the final length.
Supplier billing
Round the continuous total once or each separate new cut individually. Apply the minimum then round to a multiple of the increment from zero. Reject a billed piece above the supplier maximum rather than silently splitting it.
Separate cushion and quotes
Carpet cost uses billed full-width area or length. Cushion uses independently measured area, usable roll coverage and full-roll stock. Labor, tax, delivery and unlisted charges remain excluded.
Updated: August 2026
Example Scenarios
Assign distinct usable full-width stock pieces to real cut destinations.
Compare continuous and separate billing with actual increments, minimums and maximum piece length.
Measure cushion separately and retain its product, usable coverage and quote alongside independent carpet records.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Crediting arbitrary leftover area as usable stock cuts
Use actual measured scope and a product-specific reviewed seam, pile and cutting plan.
Treating saved arithmetic as installation approval
Confirm site conditions, product instructions, supplier terms and installer acceptance separately.
FAQ
No. Enter final installer-reviewed full-width cut lengths with all trim, pattern and defect provisions already included.
Continuous rounds the summed new length once; separate rounds each new cut to the supplier minimum and increment before multiplying its count.
No. Assigned stock must supply the exact full-width cut. A billed piece above the supplier maximum requires a reviewed change, not an invented seam or split.
No. Enter its approved product, separately measured scope, usable coverage and full-roll inventory independently.
Only this tool’s own output fields are explicitly saved. Other carpet and plank records stay separate, and no installation gate is completed.
