What this screen is for
It is the production supervisor's desk: four tabs. MRP says what to produce and buy. PCP shows each cell's queue and the date you can promise. Quality records inspection and scores contractors. Pay calculates the piece rate.
Scan without account: reporting by QR code and PIN
Sewers or subcontractors without an account report production with their phone. In the PCP tab, on the "Scan without account" card, choose the production person or the subcontractor, give a name for the screen and a 6-digit PIN (no sequences like 123456 or repeated digits like 000000) and give the PIN to the person right away — it does not show again. Then download the "Scan labels" for the order's bundles (or the cutting tickets) and stick one on each bundle. The person scans the QR code, types the PIN, chooses the step and the pieces: the report goes in like the screen one, the order step moves, the actual cost of the piece changes on the spec sheet and the order's promised date adjusts. To remove access, remove the PIN. A subcontractor's PIN only reports bundles of the order sent to it, and only its own steps. Five wrong PINs on the same device, or ten on the same bundle, lock the scan for 15 minutes — this is recorded in the audit trail.
How to
Defects of each inspection
On the Quality tab, the list button in the Defects column (or next to the final inspection result) opens the catalog defects of that inspection: add, fix or send to the bin. The severity comes from the catalog; a line that exceeds the sample is refused; and the final inspection verdict is recounted at every change. In the short form you no longer type the defect: save the inspection and the list opens right below.
Inspection defect Pareto
The Inspection defect Pareto card adds up, over the last 90 days, the pieces with each catalog defect in the sewing, subcontractor return, final and incoming roll inspections — by process (sewing, finished garment, dyeing, finishing) and by subcontractor or supplier. "Tackle first" marks the defects that make up the first 80% of the pieces.
Rules
MRP
Finished good (item with tech sheet): confirmed orders + forecast for the coming weeks + minimum stock − balance − already in production. Raw material: what the sheets ask for those orders + minimum − balance − open purchase orders; the order date moves back by the item's lead time. Nothing is saved until you click Create PO or Order.
Cell PCP
Each cell has people × minutes per day. The queue is the pending steps of orders whose resource is the cell's, in minutes (remaining pieces × standard minute). Date = today + queue ÷ capacity. Efficiency = minutes produced in the week ÷ minutes available.
Sewing bundles
Generate bundles of N pieces by size and color for a PO. Each bundle has code PC-PO-number; on the phone (Shop floor) the scan closes the bundle and posts the pieces to the step.
Quality and score
Approved + 2nd + defect must add up to inspected. At the contractor return, the defect discount reduces the service payable. Score = approval − 2 points per delay; great ≥ 90, good ≥ 75, attention ≥ 50.
Piece-rate pay
Register the price per operation (routing step name; general or per item). Seamstress: good pieces posted × price → payroll earning for the month. Contractor: pieces returned × service price − discounts → payable in 15 days. A piece without price shows in the memory and does not count.
Machine maintenance
Each cell keeps the preventive interval (every how many days) and the last one done; the next appears on the card and turns red when overdue. Machine stops come from the phone’s “I stopped”: 7 and 30 days, minutes stopped and the cost of the stop (minutes × cell people × hourly cost). Three machine stops in seven days open a maintenance ticket automatically. After fixing, tap “Done today”.
Contractor advance and the cash box
A cash advance recorded in the Pay per piece tab already creates the cash outflow; removing the advance creates the reversal. At closing, an advance larger than the payment only counts up to the amount receivable and the rest stays open for the next month.
The seamstress closing with the agreement floor
With the collective agreement switched on, the CLT seamstress closing preview shows output, the period’s prorated floor, the top-up to the floor and weekly rest pay on output — each becomes a payroll line. Without an agreement in force, the closing is blocked. Two fortnights in the same month both go in; and if the month’s payroll does not accept the entry, the screen says why (payroll not open or already closed).
Withholdings on the self-employed receipt
For an individual contractor, the social security, income tax and service tax withheld become payables to social security, the federal revenue and the city hall, shown in accounts payable with their due dates: the 20th of the next month and, for service tax, the day set in Parameters, Production group. The system does not know municipal holidays: check the date with your accountant. Before the first closing, fill in the withheld service-tax percentage and its due day for your municipality in Parameters.
Closing again completes what was missing
Running the production closing again posts to the payroll the top-up to the floor and the weekly rest pay that were not there yet, without duplicating what is already in. With the floor guarantee switched off in the HR parameters, the calculation notes show "floor not applied".
Individual workshop, micro-entrepreneur and advances at closing
Workshop with CPF: the closing preview already shows social security, income tax, service tax and net; the self-employed receipt goes on WhatsApp at closing and has PDF and resend in the list. Micro-entrepreneur workshop: the national service invoice draft is created for her to issue in the National Issuer. In "Advances and trims sent ahead", record what you advanced; at closing it is deducted from oldest to newest, up to the service amount.
Which subcontractors show in the voucher
The subcontractors visible to this company show, including those registered in another company of the group that were not restricted. The voucher stays in the company where it was posted and comes out of that company's Cash.
The safeguards of scanning without account
Five wrong PINs from the same phone block that phone for 15 minutes; thirty errors in the company, from several phones, block the company's scanning for 15 minutes. The same bundle, step and quantity is refused as repeated within the window in Parameters (10 minutes by default). In a step, a bundle never gets more pieces than it has. Before the PIN, the page shows only the code printed on the label. The report hours are the time since the same person's previous scan on the same day (up to 4 hours); the first of the day counts only the pieces. The PIN is stored in a way nobody can read it back.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the price in the sewing shop settlement come from?
First from "Price per operation": add a line named "Facção" (general or per item) and it applies to sewing shop shipments. Without that line, the per-piece price the shop has in the Sewing shop plan applies, as long as it has a single price; the settlement memo says "(per-piece price of the sewing shop in the Sewing shop plan)". With different prices per operation, the preview shows "NO PRICE" and does not guess.
O MRP sugeriu comprar algo que tenho em estoque. Por quê?
Porque o estoque está reservado para outra ordem, ou o lead time do fornecedor não cobre a data da necessidade — o MRP olha saldo disponível na data, não o saldo de hoje. Abra a sugestão: ela mostra a conta (necessidade, reservado, disponível, lead time).
Lines of the contractor's bill
In the closings list, each row's arrow shows how the bill amount was built: service, defect discount, advance, trims and each tax withheld.
Does an individual contractor need an invoice?
No. An individual contractor is paid with a self-employed receipt, and her link says so from day one, before the first payment.
What does the closing preview card show?
For the sewing contractor: the service (pieces times price, before the defect discount), the deductions (inspection defects, cash advance, trims and, for an individual, the receipt's INSS, IRRF and ISS) and "To pay", the net amount on the bill. Close and post stays off when the preview is 0.00 — register the "Facção" operation price and calculate again.
Why was the cash advance not deducted in the closing?
The closing only deducts advances and trims dated up to the period end. When an open one is dated later, the preview says how many and how much: they stay for the next closing. To include it, fix the advance date or close a period that covers it.
Which account does the contractor's cash advance come from?
From the company's Cash account (in the accounts register, type Cash / Money; the default one if there are several). The balance changes right away. Removed an advance not yet deducted? The reversal returns the money to the same account. With no Cash account, the first outflow creates "Cash".
How do I ask Tenkai which subcontractor advances are still to be deducted?
Ask "which of Dona Marta’s advances are open?" (or without the name, for all subcontractors). Tenkai shows each advance and trim advance not yet deducted, the balance of an advance deducted in part and the total per subcontractor. That is what comes out of the next settlement, oldest first.
