[edit] Design principles
[edit] Produce against Orders
Creation of production batches can be done only against orders. An order can be from
- a buyer - for purchase
- internal instructions - for stock
- Job Work Order - Machine operations only
A Sales Order from the buyer forms the basis of company's operations. If the company wants to process leathers anticipating orders, an internal order can be created and batches created against internal order
[edit] Stock Stores
In LeatherLink system, each stock entry is associated with a stock store. There can be one or more stores for a product category.
We recommend and provide the following store types as standard: Leather
- Raw
- Pickle
- EI
- TC
- Wet Blue
- White Crust
- Dyed Crust
- Finished Leather
- Work In Progress
The first group of stock stores are referred to as raw material stores where Selection, Thickness, Size, Weight are the parameters. Second group of stock stores relate to leathers produced for customer orders with Article, Colour specifications.
Work In Progress also exist as stock entries.
[edit] Assortment of Leathers
With the above design, it is possible to assort a stock into various grades at any stage. You can assort at Raw, Pickle, Wet Blue, Crust or Finished Leather. Or at any production stage. This is what is done by tanneries in practice.
During assortment, you can specify and change Article, Colour, Selection, Thickness, Size with any number of assorted entries for a stock. Total area of assorted entries can be more or less than the parent stock. But total pieces can not exceed that of parent stock.
For each of the child stocks, a price can be entered by the user. Or the system will take price assigned for the selection in master as value.
