Garment & Apparel Manufacturing

We build a proper Frappe app (garment_manufacturing) with its own module and a set of first-class DocTypes that make apparel manufacturing native to ERPNext. A Style DocType holds the design, its Style Color and Style Size child tables, and generates the full variant matrix as ERPNext Item variants against a template Item and shared attributes. A Cutting Plan DocType captures the marker, lay length, fabric rolls issued, and the size ratio, then computes theoretical fabric consumption and links to a Stock Entry that issues fabric from the store. Each lay explodes into Cutting Bundle records (barcode-labelled, size- and shade-tagged) that flow through a Line Production Entry recording operation-wise output per operator and per sewing line, so WIP is always visible by bundle and by operation rather than as a single opaque Work Order.

Technically, the workflow is enforced with hooks.py doc events (on_submit, on_cancel, validate) and server-side controller methods — for example, submitting a Cutting Plan posts the fabric-issue Stock Entry and reserves bundles, while over-consumption beyond an allowed wastage percentage raises a frappe.throw. Piece-rate labor is computed from a configurable Operation Rate master; a whitelisted server method (@frappe.whitelist()) aggregates confirmed operation output per operator into an Additional Salary / piece-rate payout that feeds ERPNext Payroll, and a fabric-consumption reconciliation compares theoretical vs actual per Cutting Plan for a live wastage report. Client scripts add the size-matrix grid on the Sales Order and Cutting Plan for fast ratio entry, role profiles lock the cutting master, line supervisor, and costing views to the right people, scheduler events roll up daily line efficiency, and the Frappe REST API plus custom endpoints expose bundle scanning to shop-floor tablets or barcode guns. It targets Frappe/ERPNext v15 and v16 and rides on ERPNext Manufacturing, Stock, and Payroll so your existing accounting, inventory, and HR stay the single source of truth.

Because this is build-to-order, nothing is a black-box download. We start with a scoping call to map your style structure, size curves, cutting-room flow, operation list, and piece-rate scheme, then build against your real data on a staging bench. You get the app installed on your own ERPNext v15/v16 site, a UAT round on staging, a git repository handover, documentation, training, and a post-go-live support window — typical delivery is 2 to 4 weeks from confirmed scope.
