Challenges Faced by Textile & Apparel Businesses

Multi-unit inventory: metres, kilograms, and pieces

Fabric is bought in kilograms, measured in metres, and sold by the piece. Tracking conversions manually leads to stock discrepancies. ASTech ERP supports multiple units of measurement per product with configurable conversion rates.

Managing hundreds of colour and size variants

A single garment style can have 6 colours × 7 sizes = 42 variants. Managing these in Excel leads to overselling and stockouts. The system handles unlimited variants with individual stock tracking per combination.

GST rate changes on textile goods

Textile GST rates have undergone multiple changes. Yarn, fabric, and readymade garments attract different rates. ASTech ERP allows you to update HSN-wise GST rates when the government makes changes, ensuring compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ASTech ERP handle fabric inventory in both metres and kilograms?+
Yes. You can define primary and alternate units for each product with a conversion factor. Stock can be purchased in one unit and sold in another, with automatic conversion and dual-unit balance display.
How does variant management work for colour and size combinations?+
You define attributes (colour, size) and their values once. When creating a product, you select which attributes apply and the system generates all combinations automatically. Each variant gets its own stock, price, and barcode.
What GST rates apply to textiles?+
Cotton yarn and fabric attract 5% GST, most readymade garments up to ₹1,000 attract 5%, and garments above ₹1,000 attract 12%. Synthetic yarn and fabric attract 12–18%. ASTech ERP applies the correct rate based on the HSN code you configure per product.
Can I manage job work (fabric sent to tailors for stitching)?+
Yes. The job work module tracks fabric sent to job workers, stitching received back, and loss during processing. GST on job work services is handled under the job work GST provisions.
Does the system support e-way bills for textile shipments?+
Yes. For textile consignments above ₹50,000, e-way bills are generated directly from the sales invoice or delivery challan. Vehicle and transporter details are recorded against each e-way bill.
