Length configuration
The set of lengths products can be cut to. A product set is assigned one configuration, and cuts to the lengths defined in it.

Shortest board accepted for this length. Left blank, the nominal length must be met exactly.

bottom
Adds a length to the configuration.
The acceptance window
Min and max define the range of actual lengths that may be sold as this length. Both blank means the board must reach the nominal length exactly. Setting a minimum below nominal allows a board that falls short to be sold as the shorter length; such boards are marked with an asterisk in reports.
A length configuration is a data set in its own right, shared between product sets. Changing it changes the columns available in every price table that uses it.
