Material changes hands and changes form a dozen times between yarn and a packed export carton, and much of that happens at a job worker you do not control. Shade, lot and shrinkage all move with it, and the costing catches up long after the order has shipped.
The operation
Material changes hands and changes form a dozen times between yarn and a packed export carton, and much of that happens at a job worker you do not control. Shade, lot and shrinkage all move with it, and the costing catches up long after the order has shipped.
AlpineERP carries batch identity through every conversion, so a shade complaint on a shipped carton traces back to the dye lot that produced it. Material issued to a processor stays on your books with an expected return, greige, dyeing, finishing, cutting and stitching each carry their own cost and wastage, and packing lists and shipping documents are generated from the order they belong to.
How your unit handles job work returns, shade approval and export documentation is mapped during discovery, and the records, workflow and permissions are configured to match before you go live. The manufacturing page below covers the discrete side of the same capability.
What matters here
Batch identity carried through every conversion, so a shade complaint on a shipped carton traces back to the dye lot that produced it.
Material issued to a processor stays on your books with a expected return, so what is lying at a job worker is a stock position rather than a phone call.
Greige, dyeing, finishing, cutting and stitching each carry their own cost and wastage, so margin is known per stage rather than per invoice.
Packing lists, invoices and shipping documents generated from the order they belong to, so the paperwork and the goods describe the same thing.

Questions
It stays on your books as stock at the processor, with the quantity issued, the expected return and the agreed wastage allowance recorded, so a shortfall is a debit rather than a disagreement.
Yes. Batch identity is carried through each conversion, so a finished carton links back through stitching, finishing and dyeing to the greige lot it started as.
Yes, including sub-assemblies and by-products, with cost rolling up through every level, which is what makes stage-wise conversion cost meaningful.
