Textile & Apparel context

Why MRP (Material Requirements Planning) works differently in Textile & Apparel

In Textile & Apparel, textile and apparel processes center on sector-specific concepts such as color-size variant matrix, collection planning, fabric consumption. In textiles, the color-size variant matrix, the collection calendar and fabric consumption require functions to see stock and cost variant by variant.

Qera ERP's MRP (Material Requirements Planning) module is set up around how the textile & apparel sector works: Calculates fabric, yarn and accessory needs at variant level from the collection and order plan.

When color, size and pattern variants can't be managed under one product code, stock and order tracking gets tangled.
When collection and season planning don't match production capacity, delivery commitments are at risk.
When fabric, accessory and subcontract consumption isn't tracked clearly, the true product cost is unknown.
