Plan the line, allocate every size run.
Seasons, collections, styles and colorways flow straight into NRF-compliant SKUs, UPC-A barcodes and a size-run-aware allocation ledger — all inside Odoo, with nothing left in a spreadsheet.
The problem
A single style multiplies into dozens of SKUs across colorways and a full size run, and every season that matrix gets rebuilt in spreadsheets or bolted onto a vanilla product catalog. Teams can't track samples through approval, generate standards-compliant codes, or commit scarce, not-yet-manufactured inventory across orders without overselling or shipping broken size assortments.
The solution
Apparel Line Planning & Allocation gives product development, merchandising and sales operations one Odoo-native workspace: plan the line, track samples and cost sheets to approval, auto-generate NRF SKUs and UPC-A codes, and allocate demand against stock, purchase orders and manufacturing orders in complete size runs — with full visibility into every allocation's source and status.
Everything an apparel line needs, in one install
Every capability below is implemented in the module.
Seasonal Line Planning
Organize seasons into collections, styles, colorways and size ranges in one hierarchy, so the entire line plan lives in Odoo instead of a spreadsheet.
Milestone Timeline & Approval
Track development milestones with automatic lateness flags, and require an explicit approval sign-off before a milestone closes or a style is adopted.
Sample Request Management
Move samples through proto, fit, sales, pre-production and approval stages, capturing fit comments at every step of the review.
NRF Color Library & Auto-Coding
Pre-loaded NRF color families assign three-character codes automatically with gap-filling and numeric/alphanumeric fallback, plus collision handling for manual codes.
SKU, Style Number & UPC-A Generation
Generate structured style numbers, NRF-standard SKUs from style, color and size, and UPC-A barcodes against your brand's GS1 prefix — automatically.
Versioned Cost Sheets
Track target, quoted and landed cost with vendor assignment across revisions, and calculate wholesale and retail margins at every version.
Adopt Style & Update Product
Create live product variants for adopted colorways and size runs in one click, preserving images, categories, cost and vendor data, then push later changes to the live catalog without re-creating anything.
Soft & Hard Allocation Ledger
Allocate demand against stock, purchase orders and manufacturing orders in complete size runs, with soft ledger commitments that convert to hard reservations automatically on receipt.
Smart Allocation Tools
Allocate directly from sales, purchase and manufacturing orders, filter by customer eligibility, enforce size-run completeness, and rebalance many allocations at once with the bulk re-allocation wizard.
How it works
Plan the line
Build seasons, collections, styles and colorways, and define the size ranges each style will ship in.
Develop & sample
Track milestones on a timeline, move samples through fit and approval, and version cost sheets with margins.
Generate codes & adopt
Auto-assign NRF colors, SKUs and UPC-A codes, then adopt approved colorways into live product variants.
Allocate & fulfill
Allocate demand against stock, POs and MOs with a soft/hard ledger, resolved from smart order buttons and the re-allocation wizard.
