Module Purpose

The Leather Type module serves as the primary data center (master data) for defining and managing all types of leather used in production or as product components. Its purpose is to standardize the attributes of leather types (e.g., Aniline, Buffalo, Harian) so they can be used consistently throughout the system, from creating new items and managing inventory to the production process.

1. Main View (Leather List)

The main page displays all the leather types that have been registered in the system. This page provides a general overview of the available master data.

View Explanation

• List Table: Displays the list of existing leather types with the following columns:

  • No: The serial number of the data entry.

  • Leather Code: A unique code that represents each type of leather.

  • Leather Type Name: The descriptive name of the leather type (e.g., Special PVC, Ladios).

• Action Buttons:

  • New Leather Type: A button to open the form for adding a new leather type to the system.

2. New Leather Type Page

This form is used to add a new leather type to the master data list.

View Explanation

• All Fields Required: A note indicating that all columns must be filled in to save the new data.

• Leather Code: A field to enter a unique code for the new leather type.

• Leather Type Name: A field to enter the name of the leather type you want to add.

• Buttons:

  • Save: To save the new leather type data to the database.

  • Cancel: To cancel the addition process and return to the list page.

3. Steps to Add a New Leather Type

1. From the main Leather List page, click the New Leather Type button.

2. On the New Leather Type page, fill in the Leather Code and Leather Type Name fields.

3. Ensure all the data entered is correct.

4. Click Save to store the data.

4. Integrated Workflow & Business Process

The data managed in this module plays an important and integrated role with other modules:

• Product Variant Management: The leather type data will be an option when creating or editing data in the Item Master. This allows a single product to have several variants based on the type of leather used.

• Planning & Production Process: When creating a work order, the selected leather type will determine the material that must be prepared by the production team.

• Stock Management: It allows the warehouse team to manage and track stock for each type of leather specifically and accurately, helping to control material inventory levels.

• Analysis & Reporting: Management can analyze the data to find out which leather types are most frequently used, most in demand, or have the highest cost.

5. Tips & Important Notes

• Use a consistent and easy-to-understand numbering or coding system for the Leather Code to facilitate searching and integration.

• Before adding a new leather type, always check the existing list to avoid data duplication, which can cause report inconsistencies.

• This module is an important foundation for manufacturing companies (such as shoes, bags, furniture) whose products are highly dependent on material variations. Centralized management will maintain data accuracy throughout the entire business flow.
