From approved drawing to factory order

Checks that drawing, finish samples and quantities are approved, then drafts the factory order and material list. Your purchasing team checks and places them.

Drafts only. Purchasing places every order
Problem

Production can start only when the shop drawing, finish samples and quantities are approved. Someone then turns each item into a bill of materials (panels, frames, upholstery, fabric yardage and hardware) and enters the orders for the factory or suppliers.

What it does

YP checks the approvals, starts from your bill of materials for the closest item you built before and updates it from the approved drawing and spec. It drafts the orders in your ERP, each line linked to the drawing revision and spec item it came from.

How it works

See exactly how the work gets done.

YP checks the approvals before any order is drafted. An approved shop drawing starts the run. If finish samples or quantities are not approved yet, the item is held and listed.

The material list starts from your own bill of materials. YP takes the one for the closest item and matches the finishes, fabric and hardware from the approved drawing to your item codes.

Quantities per room type are taken from the spec. YP applies them to the material list, so the totals match the project.

The purchase orders are prepared as drafts in your ERP. Draft orders for the factory or suppliers are created in SAP or the ERP you already use, and nothing is sent.

Your purchasing team places every order. The team reviews the drafts and places them, and only then does the factory see an order.

The outcome

Purchasing starts from a complete material list. Every order line traces back to the approved drawing.

01
3 approvals checked first

Drawing, finish samples and quantities, before any order

02
BOM and orders drafted

From the closest item you built before

03
Purchasing places orders

The factory sees an order only after review

For your numbers

YP drafts factory orders once drawing, finish samples and quantities are approved, so the factory starts sooner and fewer items are remade.

How it runs

Designed for enterprise.

Private

Runs on your infrastructure. Drawings, prices, client and claims data never train a model.

Explainable

Not a black box. An AI auditor checks that every task was done as intended and proposes improvements.

Traceable

Every value links to the document, rule or record it came from. Every step is logged. A named person approves anything that leaves the building.

Your systems

Works in your ERP, CargoWise, policy system, GIS and file shares. Nothing is replaced.
