Sheet 01 · Production
From yarn to finished goods,on one work order.
A job is a chain: yarn bought, knitted, dyed, printed. Each step is an order of its own, and the work order holds them together so the cost of the whole job is in one place.
The chain
Four kinds of order. One job.
Each order is made for the vendor that does that work, and shows what it has received and what it is still owed.
- 01Yarn orders
Buy and track yarn by lot. Yarn can be issued to a knitter against a work order.
- 02Knit orders
Send yarn to a knitting mill and receive greige goods back in rolls, with the loss in the process recorded.
- 03Dye orders
Send greige to a dye house and receive finished goods. A finished lot can go back on a dye order, and it keeps its first dye cost.
- 04Print orders
Send finished goods to a printer. A fabric printed twice keeps its first print cost.
The work order
It shows what the job cost.
The cost card on a work order adds up what was spent at each step, including material taken from your own stock.
- 01Shared lots
Several open orders can hold the same lot while the total held stays within what is on hand.
- 02Working loss is booked
Weight lost in knitting or dyeing is recognised as a cost, not left to hide in the difference.
- 03Closing an order
When all the goods are back, close the order and the material used is used up. An order closed with no material recorded is parked for review, not turned into a false gain.
- 04Cancel with care
Cancelling or voiding keeps the record and posts the reversal, so the history is still there.
One job, one number at the end.

Receiving that reads the packing list
Goods arrive with a list. Stone Converter reads it so nobody retypes forty rolls.
