The Styles module is where you define your products and everything that describes how they’re made and costed. Because a style is reused across orders, the work you do here pays off every time the style is ordered again. This guide assumes you know the style-centric model.

​
Creating a style

  1. Open the Styles module and choose “Create style”.
  2. The style number is generated for you automatically and can’t be edited — it’s the permanent identifier for this product.
  3. Fill in the product details:
    • Brand — drawn from the customer record.
    • Customer style no. and Customer style name — the buyer’s own references.
    • Season and Gender — chosen from your configured lists.
    • An optional order link, if the style is being set up against a known order.
  4. Upload a Style thumbnail so the product is easy to recognize in lists.
  5. Save. The new style opens on its detail page, organized into seven tabs.
To reuse a product you’ve made before, open the existing style instead of creating a new one — that’s the whole point of the model.

​
The seven tabs

A style’s detail page is organized into seven tabs, each holding one part of the product record:
TabWhat it holds
TP DataThe customer’s tech-pack and reference files, kept as versioned uploads.
BOMThe bill of materials — the fabrics and trims the style is made from.
Cost SheetThe costing breakdown used for quoting and margin.
MOManufacturing orders — the production documents for the style.
PackingPacking method and packing specifications.
QCQuality requirements, including AQL level and inspection reports.
Cost AnalysisA view of cost and margin across the style.
Each document tab keeps its own version history, so you can see and switch between revisions.

​
Managing the BOM

Open the BOM tab to define what the style is made from:
  • Add lines for each material, split into Fabric and Trim.
  • Record the Supplier, Position, Status, and procurement details per line.
  • Attach reference images to a line, and assign the colorways a line applies to.
  • Drag lines to reorder them within a version.
  • Use the version switcher to view earlier revisions; saving changes creates a new version rather than overwriting the current one.
When a BOM is ready for a specific order, it can be approved for that order. Approval is tracked per order, so the same style can be approved independently for different orders. Approval is what downstream steps — purchasing and manufacturing orders — read to know the BOM is final.

​
The cost sheet

Open the Cost Sheet tab to cost the style:
  • Use “Copy from BOM” to seed cost lines from the BOM, carrying over item codes and positions so you don’t retype them.
  • Supplier and unit cost can be filled from your material records, so costs stay consistent with your master data.
  • Set a per-line customer multiplier where you want the customer price derived from the factory cost; the customer figure is calculated for you and never stored inconsistently.
  • Export the cost sheet as a PDF or spreadsheet. The export is audience-aware — a customer-facing export shows only the quoted columns, while an internal one includes cost and margin.

​
Manufacturing orders (MOs)

Open the MO tab to issue production documents. A pulls together the current TP data, BOM, cost, packing, and QC for the style and pins the specific versions it’s built from. While the MO is a draft you can change which versions it points to. When you issue it, the content is frozen so production always works from a stable copy, even if a source document changes later.

​
Fitting lifecycle

A style is validated by before it goes into bulk production. Fitting rounds and their comments are managed in the Samples and fitting module, and the approved fitting feeds into the manufacturing order. Use fittings to confirm the style is production-ready before you commit an order to the floor.

​
Linking to an order

A style and an order are connected so you can move between them:
  • When you build an order, you add styles to it from the order’s style line-up.
  • From that line-up you can open a style in the context of that order, with a banner showing which order you’re working in and a link back to it. Editing the BOM, cost, or MO this way scopes your changes to that order’s version of the style.
This is how one shared style supports many orders while each order keeps its own version. For the bigger picture, see style vs. order vs. MO.
