Rate Management

Rates determine how much workers are paid per piece at each production stage. Rates are set on the production order and apply to all job cards within that order.

​
Rate Fields

All rates are in PKR (Pakistani Rupees).

​
Where Rates Come From

Rates flow through the system in this order:
If you create a production order manually (not from a sample), rates start at 0. You must enter them on the production order.

​

​
Effect on Existing Job Cards

When you update rates on a production order: Example:
  • Production order has stitcher_rate = PKR 100
  • 50 job cards already completed Stitching (paid PKR 100 each)
  • You change stitcher_rate to PKR 120
  • Remaining 150 job cards will be paid PKR 120 when they complete Stitching
  • The 50 already completed remain at PKR 100
Rate changes only affect job cards that haven’t completed that stage yet. Completed stages keep their original rate.

​
How Worker Payment Is Calculated

When a worker completes a stage (via QR scan or manual update):

​
Example Calculation

​
Worker Total Earnings

Worker earnings = Sum of all pieces completed × rate per piece Example: Fatima completes Stitching on 100 job cards at PKR 150 each = PKR 15,000

​
Rate Inheritance

​
From Sample to Production

When you click “Move to Production” on a sample:
Samples only have stitcher_rate and fuser_rate. The other three rates (cutter, finisher, packing) must be set on the production order.

​
Default Values

If a rate is 0, workers will not earn anything for completing that stage. Always verify rates before production starts.

​
Common Scenarios

​
Troubleshooting

Cause: Rate is set to 0 for that stage.Solution: Edit production order → Set correct rate → Save. Note: This won’t retroactively pay for already-completed stages.
Cause: Sample didn’t have rates set, or created production order manually.Solution: Edit production order and enter rates manually.
Cause: Rate was changed after some job cards completed.Solution: Completed stages cannot be changed. For future job cards, update the rate on production order.
Cause: Don’t have edit permission, or order is completed/cancelled.Solution: Contact admin for permission, or rates cannot be changed on completed orders.
