Open Order Report Terms

The ORDER STATUS report is designed to update you and your employees on all your current open orders with WareRite.
The following is a list of status definitions, which will help you to better understand the report.
NEW While in the order entry screen, an order gets a new status when the header information has been entered, but the details have not. Orders should only be in this status during the order entry process. Orders left in this status have not been completed properly. This is an automatic status set by the computer.
  
PRNT Once the order details have been entered and saved by the customer service rep, the computer automatically puts the order into this status.
 
PREO This is the Pre-Order status. The purchasing department may place several orders into this status while they are evaluating materials to be purchased. If an order remains in this status after the purchasing process, the purchase process is not considered complete. If an order remains in this status for more than a day, your Customer Service Representative should be contacted  immediately.
 
ORDR An order will be placed in this status if it requires materials that need to be purchased and all materials have been allocated to a purchase order. The order will leave this status when the Purchase order it’s allocated to is complete and ordered.
 
PURC This is the purchase status. The computer automatically sets it once a purchase order has been built and sent to the vendor.
 
SUSP Orders are placed in this, the suspense status, manually by order entry, customer service or purchasing due to a question on an order. To be removed from this status, the order must be updated and have all questions answered.
 
ETA The computer sets this status when material due on a purchase order is not received by the expected date. It means that a new ETA, estimated time of arrival, needs to be determined and set by WareRite after follow through with our vendor.
 
PART An order should only be in this status if, prior to this, it was in the ETA status and all ETAs for all materials have been set. The computer automatically sets this status.
 ​
RECD This status, the received status, is automatically set by the computer when all the materials required to manufacture and complete an order are in stock or have been received. SHOP An order is placed in this status when a work order has been scanned in the shop designating this order for staging and production.
 
DOCK An order is placed in this status automatically when all items have been scanned into finished goods inventory. The order is complete and waiting shipment to the customer or dealer.
 
IDOC This status is the same as the DOCK status in that all items have been scanned into finished goods inventory. This order though is scheduled to be installed by WareRite.

Common Terms

ARC END
​An arc end is the curved arched end applied to the end of a peninsula or island counter top. The size of the arch is determined and can be limited by the amount of overhang from the cabinet. A top must have a minimum of 3” overhang.
kitchen countertops distributor, countertops distributor, countertop distributor, countertops manufacturer, countertop manufacturer, vanity tops distributor, sink distributor, quartz countertops distributor, laminate countertops distributor, wood countertops, distributor, granite countertops distributor, bathroom distributor, warerite
BACKSPLASH
Refers to the vertical portion of the counter top.
BLANK
A pre-laminated straight length of countertop. The term is typically used to represent stock post-formed counter tops.
BUILD UP
This is a strip of core material applied to the underside of a deck before a cap is applied.
BUTT JOINT or FIELD  JOINT
This joint is used to join two straight pieces of post- formed blanks when a counter tops length exceeds 144”. The location of the butt joint is required on all drawings. You should consider an alternative before using, this type of joint is not recommended or guaranteed by WareRite.
CLIP CORNER
A clip corner is a corner with a 45º cut off the front. This is used to soften the corner. Use this where corner sweep is impractical. You must allow a minimum of overhang for a 2” x 2” clip.
COVE
This is the formed joint between the deck and the backsplash in post-formed tops.
DECK
Refers to the flat horizontal portion of the countertop.
​EASED END
​An eased end is a slight bend at the front corner of an open end of a counter. It is used to soften the corner. You must have a least 1” of overhang from the cabinet. Please note, the angle that results at the front end of the corner
will result in a wider and more             1”
noticeable showing of the black line of the laminate.

FLAT DECK
A flat deck is a counter top, usually post-formed, without a backsplash.
LAMINATE SEAM
This is a seam that is required when the shape or size of the top exceeds the dimension of the un-cut sheet of laminate. The largest piece of laminate is 144” x 60”. The location should be determined by the designer and included in all drawings. WareRite does not recommend the seam be placed in or around a sink area.
MITRE BOLTS
These are specialized bolts used to hold mitre joints together. The standard is to use four bolts per mitre.
MITRE JOINT
This is the joint used with post-formed tops when turning a corner a 90º angle. This joint may be assembled at the factory or left unassembled for assembly on site.
MITRES  BUTT JOINT
This joint is used to extend the length of a post- formed counter top beyond 144” but less than 157” when creating a 90º corner.

ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS

1. Custom Self-Edge Custom Tops
​

​Description:
A standard custom counter is a handmade, all laminate clad surface with a 3/4” particle board substrate which has a 3/4” by 1 3/4” build down making the front edge 1 1/2” thick.
​
The top is cut and built to your specifications giving it an almost unlimited design freedom, the plastic laminate edges are applied first, the deck is dropped last so that the deck overlays the edge plastic.
kitchen countertops distributor, countertops distributor, countertop distributor, countertops manufacturer, countertop manufacturer, vanity tops distributor, sink distributor, quartz countertops distributor, laminate countertops distributor, wood countertops, distributor, granite countertops distributor, bathroom distributor, warerite
Because the laminate for the deck comes in sizes up to 60” x 144” the seam location, when necessary, can be placed in the most strategic location.

Advantages:
     a. Design Freedom
     b. Variety of strategic seam locations.
     c. Can use different color edge than deck.
         (There is no extra charge for a different color edge)
     d. Custom shapes and angles.
     e. Radius, Bullnose, etc.
ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS:
kitchen countertops distributor, countertops distributor, countertop distributor, countertops manufacturer, countertop manufacturer, vanity tops distributor, sink distributor, quartz countertops distributor, laminate countertops distributor, wood countertops, distributor, granite countertops distributor, bathroom distributor, warerite
​Example shows the standard dimensions. It is important to note that any depth counter can be ordered up to 30” deep with no extra charge. A great plus for European cabinets.

2. Custom Bevel Edge Custom Tops
​

Description:
A bevel edge counter top is the same as a standard custom counter top handmade with a 3/4” particle board substrate, a 3/4” x 1 3/4” build down making the front edge 1 1/2” thick. The only difference is that the edge of the counter top is banded with a 5/8” bevel on top. Almost any color combination can be made. Note: Only 5/8” bevel available when doing bevel radii.
Bevel edge counter tops can create striking design results. Since the bevel edge is created by mitering, there are no black lines. Therefore, solid colors recreate the look of aSolid Surface top at a much lower price. Be Creative.

3. Custom Wood Edge Custom Tops
​Woods available: Oak, Cherry, Maple, Red Birch, White Birch, Hickory.

Description:
A wood edge counter top is the same as a standard custom counter top handmade with a 3/4” particle board substrate, a 3/4” by 1 3/4” build down making the front edge 1 1/2” thick. The only difference is that the edge of the counter top is banded in wood, however, this upgrades the durability level of the top; a wood edge can be abused alot more without showing the effects as conspicuously. A wood edge can easily be sanded and refinished by the homeowner. Granted a laminate edge can be repaired, but to get a good job requires a lot more knowledge, skill and specialized equipment than the average homeowner has. There are two basic kinds of wood edge tops:
​
1. Pre-applied, 2. Applied-After.
Description:
1. Pre-applied means that the wood is applied before the deck is laminated and then some type of edge treatment is routed on the front, this does expose the black line of the laminate. The advantages of pre-applied wood are; it is more water resistant and it costs less.
kitchen countertops distributor, countertops distributor, countertop distributor, countertops manufacturer, countertop manufacturer, vanity tops distributor, sink distributor, quartz countertops distributor, laminate countertops distributor, wood countertops, distributor, granite countertops distributor, bathroom distributor, warerite

2. Applied-after means that the deck is laminated first and the wood is applied after. The edge detail is optional. It can be routed before the wood is applied, or after, whichever fits or works best for the type of edge detail being routed. Applied-after wood is much more time consuming to apply and to mill because of the tongue and groove millwork necessary to insure a quality job. The advantages of applied-after wood are: more wood is exposed, more edge details are possible and no black line. However, applied-after wood is not as water resistant as pre-applied.
kitchen countertops distributor, countertops distributor, countertop distributor, countertops manufacturer, countertop manufacturer, vanity tops distributor, sink distributor, quartz countertops distributor, laminate countertops distributor, wood countertops, distributor, granite countertops distributor, bathroom distributor, warerite

General notes on wood edge radii:

All of our wood edge prices listed on our price sheet are for pre-applied wood only. Applied-after radii are by quote only. The reason for this is because pre-applied wood can be back cut and steamed, applied after radii have to be laminated. It is important to note that while we have a standard wood edge board, you are not limited to those details only.
​
Be creative, but please be sure to note detail on order. (Example: Applied-after wood with a double ogee or double bevel edge detail)
