KnitOne began 2026 with a clear focus on strengthening control and operational visibility across core modules. The updates in January concentrated on reinforcing KnitOne’s foundation as a production-first ERP built for knitwear operations.
What Are the Major Updates of January in KnitOne?
The section below summarizes the most meaningful improvements made in January, along with their operational impact.
1. Improved SFG Movement Tracking from QR to RFID
QR-based Semi-Finished Goods (SFG) tracking can face efficiency limitations as production volumes increase, and bulk movement becomes more frequent.
As per experts, RFID can overcome the shortcomings of QR-based tracking. Thus, the QR scanning workflow was updated to also record EPC codes for RFID tracking.
This step allows RFID identification to be captured alongside existing QR data, without disrupting current QR-based workflows.
Impact:
- Improves readiness for faster and bulk SFG tracking at scale.
- Enables a smooth transition from QR-based tracking to RFID-enabled operations.
2. Stronger Order Management and Execution Control
A significant effort went into tightening order workflows to ensure active production is not disrupted by incorrect or late-stage actions.
Knitting Orders were restricted from being cancelled once yarn issuance had taken place, preventing production from being unintentionally halted midway. Also, a filter for Order Type, including bulk and samples, was added.
An “Others” option was added to the gauge section in the Active Bulk and Active Sample tabs. When selected, it displays buyer-specific gauges that are not part of the factory’s standard gauge list.
Order locking behavior was also corrected to ensure inventory data shown at the time of locking accurately reflects real stock availability.
Impact:
- Prevents accidental cancellation of active production orders after yarn issuance.
- Improves order traceability and execution control across bulk and sample workflows.
3. Clearer and More Reliable WIP Visibility
WIP Summary dashboards now operate on a single-date view, removing ambiguity caused by date ranges.
WIP calculations and report bases were aligned with production data to eliminate inconsistencies between WIP and production figures.
The Overall WIP section was reorganized. Also, average pieces per department were added to help teams quickly check their daily workload.
Impact:
- Enables accurate, day-specific WIP reviews without interpretation gaps.
- Improves confidence in WIP figures used for daily planning and production decisions.
4. PPC Accuracy and Planning Discipline
Production planning updates focused on realistic planning within defined limits.
Plan Production Quantity (PPQ) can now be edited only within valid order constraints. Issues in PPC Overview editing—such as duplicate order selection for the same gauge—were corrected.
PPC job creation (which covers incoming orders but has not entered production) failures were resolved to ensure uninterrupted planning workflows.
Impact:
- Reduces planning errors by enforcing realistic production quantity limits.
- Increases planner confidence in PPC data and execution timelines.
5. Inventory and Yarn Data Integrity
Inventory-related fixes addressed quantity mismatches and visibility gaps. The following updates were made to the yarn inventory:
- Both usable and available yarn quantities are now accurately reflected in the tentative BOQ section.
- Yarn color image upload failures were resolved.
- Editing of yarn color images was made permission-controlled to strengthen master data governance.
- Yarn transfer history mismatches were resolved to ensure branch-level accuracy.
In the general inventory, the following updates were made:
- The ‘Item Detail’ field was added to the Approve Add Item list.
- The Vendor list was added to the Quotation section of the Manage Indent.
- Incorrect inventory values shown during order locking were fixed to reflect the actual available stock.
- A ‘Details’ section was added to the HAB for Approve Purchase Order in General Inventory.
Impact:
- Prevents yarn overcommitment by aligning BOQ quantities with actual stock movement.
- Improves inventory visibility for accurate production and purchase planning.
6. Sales Workflows Brought Under Better Control
Sales invoice workflows were strengthened to improve control and clarity.
A ‘Download Excel’ option was implemented for the Sales Invoice list, aligned with the Pro Forma invoice workflow. A confirmation dialog was added before downloading invoice files to prevent unintended actions.
The ‘Invoice History’ tab was also introduced in the Sales Invoice list to provide better visibility to invoice changes.
While voiding a sales invoice, users were given the option to unlock pieces and return them to the destination warehouse when required.
Also, the ‘surcharge’ option was added to the Commercial Invoice to include extra charges separately from the garment price.
Impact:
- Improves control and traceability across sales invoice creation, downloads, and revisions.
- Prevents inventory inconsistencies by allowing proper reversal of pieces during invoice voiding.
- Reduces manual corrections in sales invoicing and documentation.
7. Production Insights Made Clear and Comparable
Updates on the ‘dashboard and report’ section focused on making production status easier to understand at a glance.
In the ‘Order status’ section, production is now displayed by gauge, with pieces from other gauges grouped under “Others.”
Likewise, in the Monthly Production graph, the ‘knitted daily average pieces’ was made visible to track the production pace.
Similarly, various reports and their formats were updated to improve clarity, comparison, and usability. The key report updates include the following:
- A ‘Style Category’ column was added to the Yarn Stock Issue Orderwise report.
- The report format was adjusted for the Weekly Report, while a new report for the Overall Daily Report was created.
Impact:
- Gives business owners a clear, daily view of production health and departmental performance.
- Enables decision makers to compare plans versus actuals confidently without manual reconciliation.
Other Important Tasks Performed
- System-wide permission inconsistencies were resolved, ensuring access controls now behave as intended across modules.
- Employee management workflows were stabilized by fixing document restoration during cancelled edits and correcting QR printing issues that caused duplicate surnames.
- An option was added to KnitOne POS to enter the quantity of pieces during addition.
- WhatsApp sharing was enabled to send messages and reports directly for faster internal communication.
- Multi-branch visibility was added to the ‘Approve Warehouse Transfer’ list, improving coordination for users managing operations across branches.
Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements
This month, we’ve resolved 27 bugs. Here are some of the major ones:
- Quantity mismatches across BOQ, locked stock, issued yarn, and available inventory were corrected to reflect actual material movement.
- Issues affecting style, colorway, and yarn master data searches, uploads, and edits were fixed to support accurate master data maintenance.
- For SMS Sample Orders, the issue causing an error message when opening tentative BOQ was resolved.
- Buyer and Production Gauge/Size fields were removed from the “Create New Style”.
- For PPC, the Monthly Booked vs Available Capacity filter was stabilized.
- QR generation and printing issues in panel processing were fixed, ensuring Locate QRs work reliably even when weight data is missing.
- Employee document handling, cancel actions, and QR printing issues were resolved to prevent data loss, duplication, and operational confusion.
- Sales invoice blank-page errors and POS transaction failures were fixed, restoring smooth internal sales and transaction recording.
- Discrepancies between dashboard data and downloadable reports were resolved.
These improvements focused on stabilizing core factory workflows, improving data trustworthiness, and strengthening KnitOne as a production-ready ERP built specifically for knitwear manufacturing.
