Following a strong start to the year, KnitOne focused on improving inventory visibility, refining reporting tools, and ensuring system-wide consistency across core modules.   

The development team prioritized granular control over yarn master data and the introduction of advanced reporting formats.  

What Are the Major Updates of February in KnitOne?  

The following sections detail the most significant tasks completed in February and their impact on factory operations.  

1. Granular Yarn Inventory and UI Refinements  

A major effort was directed toward improving the Yarn Inventory module to provide more detailed tracking of material attributes.  

• A new “Color details” tab was added to the Manage Yarn Inventory HAB, featuring a “view color” button and yarn composition details.  

• To improve searchability, a “Count” filter was implemented in the Manage Yarn Inventory list.  

• Units were added to the Quantity columns in Yarn PR and YDR Inventory for better clarity.  

Impact:  

• Provides merchandisers and warehouse teams with faster access to visual and technical yarn data.  

• Reduces errors by ensuring units of measure are visible at every stage of the yarn requisition process.  

2. Advanced Reporting and Data Export Capabilities  

Numerous relevant industry reports were designed to give a more precise view of the stock and production of health.  

A dedicated Yarn Lock Report was created, alongside a new Knit Yarn Consumption Report to help track locked and used yarn.  

The FG (Finished Goods) Detail Stock Report was also created. Here, the new permission for Active FG Detail was also added.   

A “Download as PDF” button was added to the Consolidated Report, allowing for easier sharing of daily production figures. 

In the Consolidated Report, numbers greater than 1,000 are now separated by commas for better readability.

Impact:  

• Enhances yarn traceability from initial booking to final consumption.  

• Boosts FG tracking and introduces access controls for active details. 

• Empowers management with professional, exportable reports for internal and external reviews.  

3. Strengthened Procurement and Vendor Management  

Workflow improvements in procurement were implemented to handle more diverse vendor relationships and branch-specific operations.  

In procurement management  

• Branch-wise filters and branch names were integrated into the Manage Indent and Approval list pages (Quote, Purchase Order) to support complex organizational structures.  

In vendor management  

• A new vendor type, “Service,” was introduced, allowing for better categorization during vendor creation and editing.  

• For the newly added vendor, yet to be approved, the ‘contact details’ section was added to HAB. It includes details such as Name, department, mobile, email, etc.   

Impact:  

• Simplifies coordination for organizations managing multiple production facilities.  

• Improves master data governance by allowing more specific vendor classifications.  

4. Enhanced Operational Discipline and Functionality  

Several updates focused on the “rules” of the system to ensure data integrity during material movement.  

• To ensure absolute precision, the system now consistently displays three decimal places for quantities across all yarn modules.  

• The “My Requisition” page was separated into “Active” and “History” tabs to help users manage current tasks without being cluttered by past data.  

• The validation limit for receiving yarn and items was adjusted to a 25% limit for both Received and Invoice quantities to prevent significant data entry errors.  

Also, APIs were created to retrieve client names and client codes in the Manage Client section. Also, the team added an API to track rejection and wastage data for orders in the Order Balance Sheet.  

Impact:  

• Prevents significant stock discrepancies through stricter validation on incoming goods.  

• Improves user experience by organizing task-heavy screens into logical workflows.  

• Enables better access to client details and enhances client data management in the system  

• Improves the ability to monitor and manage material losses during production, leading to better cost control.  

Bug Fixes & Improvements  

In addition to the major tasks above, more than 40 bugs were resolved to ensure a smoother user experience.  

Here are some of the key bug fixes:  

• Fixed an issue where the Yarn Inventory listing screen displayed 0 KG despite valid backend data.  

• Resolved a 403 “page not found” error when editing Vendor Invoices despite correct user permissions.  

• Resolved incorrect calculations of “Average Age” in the Yarn Stock Summary Report.  

• Fixed the redirection logic for Warehouse Transfer Approval notifications.  

Significant bugs were resolved to enhance the UI/UX section. Some of the major ones are as follows:  

• Corrected a bug in Manage Trackers where the “New Tracker” button was hidden from authorized users.  

• Fixed a UI issue where pagination numbers were cut off in modules like Company Management and Panel Processing.  

• Updated the Panel Reject rewind workflow to ensure “Confirm” and “Cancel” buttons are consistently placed at the bottom right.  

All in all, these updates aim to make various aspects of the knitwear production, from yarn consumption to entire operations, robust and industry-focused. These improvements are all targeted to retain KnitOne as the best ERP for knitwear manufacturers.
