Under Warehouse → Materials you will find all materials stored in Keyline — including paper.
In the material management you can:
search the warehouse
duplicate, edit, or delete materials
adjust all relevant settings such as:
Procurement behavior
automatic or manual purchasing
Inventory
quantities
storage locations
Prices
price per unit
packaging units
Category assignment
e.g. inks, adhesives, auxiliary materials
Dimensions and units
e.g. square meters, running meters, pieces
Paper Setup
Paper itself is always created in Admin → Paper, either:
via a paper import or material import (e.g. from your Excel sheet or a supplier catalog)
or manually as a single entry
During paper setup you can define additional properties such as:
grammage
environmental certifications (FSC, PEFC, etc.)
grain direction
surface properties (coated, uncoated, glossy, matte)
standard formats and color properties
Important
Once paper has been created, it is automatically linked to a material entry in the warehouse upon first use.
All subsequent changes such as:
inventory adjustments
price updates
warehouse movements (e.g. goods receipt, consumption, transfers)
are handled directly within the material management.
This ensures that calculation data and inventory data always remain synchronized.
Creating New Materials
When creating a new material, simply enter the material name.
You can also define the category directly:
Enter a new category and confirm it with Enter to create it.
Alternatively, select an existing category using the as-you-type search. Typing one or two letters is enough — Keyline will automatically suggest matching categories that already exist.
