💡 File Setup Tips
The file must start with comment lines (using semicolons) that describe the data structure. Each product entry should be on a separate line with comma-separated values.
If you don't have a small roll size available for a product, set the small roll size to zero.
The file must end with "END" on the final line to properly terminate the data.
⚠️ Important Notes
All size measurements are in square metres. Ensure your cost and size data is accurate as this directly affects your estimates.
The Code field serves as a unique identifier for each product and should be consistent across your data files.
