Footwear context

Why MRP (Material Requirements Planning) works differently in Footwear

In Footwear, footwear production center on sector-specific concepts such as size-color variant matrix, last/model management, leather-sole consumption. In footwear production, the size-color variant matrix, last/model variety and leather-sole consumption require functions to separate stock and cost at variant level.

Qera ERP's MRP (Material Requirements Planning) module is set up around how the footwear sector works: Calculates leather, sole and accessory needs at variant level from the season and order plan.

When size and color variants can't be managed under one product code, stock and order tracking gets tangled.
When the season and collection plan doesn't match capacity, deliveries are delayed.
When leather, sole and accessory consumption isn't tracked clearly, the true model cost is unknown.
