Processes & Routes
Not yet available
The production module isn't open in JennyERP yet — we're polishing samples, partners, inventory & finance first. This page describes the upcoming module so you can see what's ahead.
JennyERP separates the steps fabric goes through from the order those steps run in:
- A process is a single operation — dyeing, printing, cut & sew, QC & packing — with its type, cost and (for outsourced steps) the factory that does it.
- A route is an ordered sequence of those processes, the path a fabric takes from start to finish, which you can reuse across orders.
Process catalog
Go to Process Setup to manage your processes. Each process record carries:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Code | A short reference code |
| Name | The process name (e.g. Dyeing) |
| Type | Internal (done in-house) or Outsource (sent to a mill) |
| Factory | For outsourced processes, the mill that handles it |
| Price | Unit cost of the process |
| Pricing unit | What the price is per — piece, meter or kg |
| Equipment | The machine or line used, where relevant |
Use Add to create a process, the pencil to edit one, and the trash icon to delete. Outsourced processes show a factory; internal ones show their equipment.
TIP
Set the type to Outsource for steps you send to mills (dyeing, printing, embroidery) and Internal for steps you do yourself (cut & sew, QC & packing). Outsourced processes flow naturally into Outsourcing rounds.
Process routes
A route strings processes together in the order they run. Open Process Routes (from the Process Setup page) to manage them.
Each route is shown as a card with its name, code and the steps laid out in sequence — for example 1. Dyeing → 2. Printing → 3. Finishing — with each step tagged internal or outsource.
Build a route
Choose Add route and:
- Give the route a name and (optionally) a code and an applies-to note
- Build the step sequence:
- Add a step — pick a process from your catalog; it's appended to the end
- Move up / move down — reorder a step with the arrow buttons
- Delete — remove a step with the ✕
- Save the route
A step inherits its type, price and factory from the underlying process, so a route captures both the order of work and the cost of each stage. Routes are numbered automatically in the sequence you arrange them.
Why it matters
Defining processes and routes once means:
- New production orders can follow a standard, repeatable path
- Outsourced steps carry the right factory and rate into each outsourcing round
- Costing stays consistent, because every step's price and unit are defined in one place
