GarmentFlow Implementation Checklist

A step-by-step path from an empty site to your first production order. Work top to bottom and tick each box as you go — each section links to its full guide when you want the detail.

1 · ERPNext basics

The financial foundation. Most of this is set up on install — confirm and tidy. → ERP Setup

[ ] Company. Your business's legal identity — name, country and currency. Already created on install; just confirm it.
[ ] Users. Add the people from your team who'll use GarmentFlow, as many as you like, and give each the right role.
[ ] Chart of accounts. The buckets your money flows through. Review the default set and rename to match how you think about the business.
[ ] Taxes. Set up the tax you charge and pay (VAT/IVA/GST) once, so it fills in automatically on every invoice.

2 · HRMS basics

Your people and how they're paid. → HR & Payroll Setup

[ ] Departments & designations. Your teams (Cutting, Sewing, Finishing…) and the job titles people hold.
[ ] Employees. Add your workforce. Import a spreadsheet if you have many to enter.
[ ] Shifts & attendance. Define working hours and how you'll record who showed up.
[ ] Payroll. Build your salary structure now so you can run pay when you're ready.

3 · GarmentFlow setup

The masters that make GarmentFlow speak garments. → Production Setup · Design Masters

[ ] Garment Manufacturing Settings. The master switchboard — turn on the behaviours and defaults that fit how your factory runs.
[ ] Brands. The labels you produce for, whether your own or your customers'.
[ ] Divisions, fits & types. How you slice your catalogue (e.g. Menswear / Slim / T-shirt) for organisation and reporting.
[ ] Fabrics & composition. Your materials and what they're made of — this feeds costing, washcare and the bill of materials.
[ ] Size charts & points of measurement. The measurements that define each size, reused across every style.
[ ] Production units. Your internal lines and sections, plus any outside workshops you send work to.
[ ] Assembly operations & skills. The steps that build a garment and the skill each needs — your routing vocabulary.

4 · Your first style

Design a garment GarmentFlow can make. → Design

[ ] Tech Pack. Create your first style with its full spec — materials, colours and measurements in one place.
[ ] Sizes, variants & BOM. List the sizes and colours you'll make, and the materials each unit needs.
[ ] Pattern. Attach the pattern pieces so the style is ready to cut.

5 · Suppliers and Stock

Get materials into GarmentFlow. → Logistics

[ ] Suppliers. Add who you buy your fabric and trims from.
[ ] Warehouses. Name your storage and work-in-progress locations.
[ ] Opening stock. Tell GarmentFlow what you already have on hand, or receive your first purchase.

6 · Production

Make something. → Production

[ ] Production Order. Open your first order to make a quantity of a style, and plan it into batches.
[ ] Marker & cutting. Lay the pattern pieces out to save fabric, then cut.
[ ] Batch cards. Track pieces through each operation as they move across the floor.

7 · Quality Control

Check it, then ship it. → Quality

[ ] Inspections. Check work in-line and at the end against your standards.
[ ] Dispatch. Send finished, passed goods out the door.

8 · Go Live

[ ] Run one style end-to-end. Take a single style all the way through — design, cut, sew, inspect, dispatch — before you rely on GarmentFlow for real. If it flows cleanly, you're live.
[ ] Sit back and have a coffee. The hard part's done — your whole operation is set up and ready to run. ☕
