In the month of May, Team KnitOne focused on financial integration, enhancing the granularity of various reports, and standardizing all modules.  

Also, significant steps were made in connecting shop floor operations with accounting benchmarks while improving the user experience for logistics and warehouse management. 

Let’s look into the major changes and advancements made to make KnitOne Intelligence more dynamic and robust.

What Are the Major Updates of May in KnitOne? 

Below is a brief explanation of the most significant updates across different modules, along with their operational impacts. 

1. Advanced Reports and Analytics 

Reporting in KnitOne has been enhanced to ensure better visibility in production and sales.  

The Daily Summary Report now includes rework indicators and combined quantity/percentage data for PPC utilization, allowing the production head to track yarn usage efficiently. Also, the work-in-progress stage is now tracked with the new “WIP Movement Report” under Department Production Reports. 

The PPC Extended Report was improved; the fields are editable only for specific gauges. Also, the PPQ (Planned Production Quantity) column was added. Now, only planned knit minutes are visible while all locked orders are displayed for complete production visibility. 

A new “Order Status” tab in the Production Report has also been added; this helps monitor whether bulk or sample orders are open, in production, or closed.

For finished goods, the FG Warehouse and FG Stock Movement Reports can now be extracted to monitor stock movements. 

In the sales stage, Item-wise sales reports have been moved to the Sales Report section, with new columns added in both item-wise and general reports to give better insights into sales performance and returns. 

A new YDR Floor Report tab was introduced under YDR Approvals on the Dashboard. This tab includes data on panel return and yarn return.  

In the PPC section of the dashboard, some changes were made to gauge value display in the Monthly GG Wise Capacity Utilization Heatmap. 

Impacts: 

• Tracks yarn usage efficiently and highlights areas needing rework. 

•  Provides visibility into items currently in progress across production stages. 

• Enables accurate planning and monitoring of production with controlled editing. 

• Shows progress in bulk and sample orders from start to finish. 

• Monitors the movement of finished goods for better inventory management. 

• Offers clear insights into sales performance and return data. 

• Tracks panel and yarn return directly on the shop floor. 

• Visualizes machine utilization by gauge for improved production planning. 

2. Inventory and Procurement Improvements 

In Yarn Inventory’s Receive Yarn section, a “total received quantity” has been added at the HAB for easier tracking. Also, when receiving yarn or items, a PDF is automatically created. 

Only approved purchase orders (PO) show the prices, and void ones are ignored. The PDFs for Yarn POs and Indents now show key values like profit and contribution, and the color coding in the Yarn lists has been improved for clarity. 

Impacts: 

• Easier tracking of total yarn quantities.  

• Clear visibility of approved purchase prices.  

• Better clarity with updated color coding. 

3. YDR (Knitting Data Recording) and Waste Control Updates 

The YDR module was improved with a stronger dedication to data accuracy, ensured by additional checks and correct date tracking on machine status updates. 

When closing a knitting order in YDR, the remaining yarn quantity is now visible. Now, yarn return weights are automatically validated against issued and returned quantities. 

The YDR panel weights are now checked against acceptable waste limits (knit waste tolerance). 

Impacts 

• Helps maintain accurate and consistent data across YDR processes. 

• Ensures returned yarn is correctly recorded and tracked. 

• Reduces yarn wastage by flagging discrepancies during the return process. 

• Provides reliable tracking for machine updates and accountability. 

4. Dedicated Section for the Finance and Accounts 

A new section, “Finance Report,” was added to the Report Module. The developers have been working on fixing the front-end aspects, such as dialog box placement, sidebar thickness, etc.  

During data migration, issues were resolved by correcting the Chart of Accounts and fixing the system’s connection checks to ensure proper access.  

Ledgers necessary for the finance department such as, Balance Sheet, Income Statement Revenue, Cash Flow Statement, Trial Balance, etc., are also included in this section . Likewise, issues related to Vendor/Client Integration were also resolved. 

Impacts: 

• Enables the finance team to access all key financial reports in one place.  

• Ensures accurate and reliable ledgers after data migration corrections.  

• Improving financial data consistency in the system. 

Other Important Updates

• Separate permissions were created for the PPC tab, Machine Configuration, and Machine Allocation Summary. 

• Permission is now provided to create and delete voided costing. 

• The image upload process for styles was made faster and smoother, making it easier to add or update style images. 

• In the order management section, the production file was made downloadable; a dialog box to map the “Customer Code” field was added. 

• A new 50-day credit option was added to the Payment Terms in the Pro Forma Invoice form. 

• The GSR section now includes an option to download data as an Excel sheet. 

Bug Fixes & Improvements 

Team KnitOne resolved numerous technical issues and fixed more than 40 bugs to ensure system stability and a seamless user experience. Some of those major bugs fixed are highlighted below:     

• Sales invoice generation failures have been corrected with backend logic improvements to ensure proper invoice creation. 

• PPC overview download inconsistencies and missing GG values have been resolved to include all necessary details and selections. 

• Accounting errors in FG inventory and sales orders related to surcharge and freight have been corrected to ensure accurate financial calculations. 

• Data mismatches in Knit to Pack versus Daily Summary reports have been resolved for accurate reporting. 

• The PDF checkbox missing in Yarn Receive has been added to trigger automatic PDF generation upon confirmation or save. 

• The scanning button in Packing Orders, causing infinite loading, has been fixed to operate correctly after QR scanning. 

• PPC Extended Report UI and calculation issues have been resolved to allow accurate reporting and gauge-specific editing. 

These updates focus on making sweater manufacturing operations more systemic, data-driven, transparent, and efficient. With these enhancements, KnitOne continues to evolve as the most robust ERP solution for sweater manufacturing industry.
