Capture Pattern Information for Rolled Goods
We're using RFMS for quickly generating catalogs for an external ERP solution and a key piece of information for our flooring teams is information regarding pattern matching, but this seems to be information captured from the supplier catalogs for rolled goods according to RFMS support. This information is critical to determining associated labor costs in our business, so it would be great if this was provided from the suppliers and easily pushed into the product catalog where it can be exported using the PIE wizard.
There are currently fields for storing this in the Extended Information 2 tab, but even if I manually record this in a brutal manual fashion, the current fields are not sufficient in the following situations:
1. Any length/width that is more than 4 decimal places can't be stored accurately. For example, 11/32" needs to be rounded off to 0.4063 instead of 0.40625 which seems inaccurate for something I see in a number of Shaw carpet products as a pattern width.
2. The current design does not support random length/width products. I'd prefer to record that in these products vs. leaving it as zero since that is important to know if you select that rolled product that it is patterned but not a easily matched pattern.
For us this would reduce a very large amount of manual effort to key in this information when managing a product catalog.

We've run into the situation with Point 2 where there is a random pattern width and a set pattern length. There is no way for us to enter this into RFMS
