Textile cutting: marker yield and the order
A cut order is won or lost in the marker. The quote assumed a yield. The spread used more yards, and the extra fabric is in the remnant bin with no order on it.
Recuts are a second yield problem wearing the name of a busy week.
What the open order has to show
- Yards issued to the order, including the marker that was actually cut.
- Good panels and recuts on that order.
- Remnants that can be used kept apart from fabric already promised.
That is the same kind of gap as seeing the work while it is still open and quoting from a current cost.
The week the record is late
A shade lot is short halfway through the spread. The rest of the order is cut from a second lot. The customer later asks which cartons used which lot. The answer is a guess.
Keep the lot and the yards on the order while the table is still running. MFGMAX Furniture holds that record. Accounting can stay where it is. Other systems can connect. What moves, and when, is shown before you commit. MFGMAX keeps the job, the inventory, the price, and the balance on one record. Your accountant still closes the books. This is the history of what changed, not an audit opinion.
