SOP of Style Material status for Apparel Stores

Here we can learn the purpose of SOP of Style Material status for Apparel Stores. It is performed by Store in-charge.

Purpose:     

• In order to list out all required materials for a particular style without letting to miss a single item.
• In order to estimate the material requirement in advance (color, size and qty) upon predetermined consumption, so that the outcome of the practice can be used in taking many other steps  in costing and purchasing .
• To inform costing, purchasing and other relevant sections and departments about the finalized unit price of each material. 
• To use as a source document in order to manage the inventories in the stores.  

Scope:

• This procedure explains the method of listing and monitoring of raw material requirements for each style.   

Responsible:

• Merchandiser to send final B.O.M to the stores and follow up if status is being updated.
• Purchasing department sends all work orders (PO’s) to Stores as soon as those are raised.
• Stores should update the status of materials upon raising G.R.N’s. 

Procedure:

• Merchandiser should send approved final B.O.M to Stores.
• Purchasing department should send all raised P.O’s relevant to a particular style to the Stores.
• By taking both the above together, Stores has to make Style Material Requirement Status Report & it has to be updated upon rising of G.R.N.
• Stores have to circulate the updated status to all relevant departmental heads including planning/purchasing/accounts/merchandising.
• Stores send final status reports to respective departments once all the items due for styles are completely received.

Benefits:
