Well describe industry requirements and the way them to be implemented in Great PlainsVariable Length Rolls.

It might have 75 yards or 80 yards you typically know the average length, say 77 yards and this is why you know what to expect in yards if you purchase 10 boltsInventory in Yards. When you receive the roll you need to place it into inventory in exact yards. Typical method is to assign lot number to the bolt and then associate the exact initial length in yards with this unique lot number. This is Great Plains Dexterity customization, which provides parallel unit of measure, associated with the lot numberLight Assembly. Bill of Materials would be probably too complex for cutting the fabric. This is why we suggest to deploy automatic inventory decrease and increase adjustments you decrease number of yards in the roll and increase your finished good in the number of units assembledMeter / Yard challenge. If you purchase from the supplier in China, Mexico, South East Asia or Europe they measure their rolls in meters, not yards so you need to implement automatic unit of measure translation and conversion. You resolve this on the level of your EDI electronic document interchangeCut-beds tracking to original roll. If you are assembling/cutting something like billiard table beds you would like them to be tracked to the original roll in the case of customer complaint. This means that you will have to assign the same or modified lot number to the cut-bedInventory Count. You need to track what is the current length of the bolt/roll.
