Fabric Roll Stock and Metres Used Log

Fabric Roll Stock and Metres Used Log is an offline app (one HTML file in a zip) for a tailor or fabric shop that buys cloth by the roll. Each roll starts with its length. Every cut is logged in metres against a job, flaws and samples are logged as adjustments, and when you measure a roll the app takes your measured length as the truth and shows how far the books were off. Metres left, stock value and the fabrics to reorder come from that.

The problem it removes: Nobody knows how much is left on a roll until the cutter unrolls it, so orders are accepted for fabric that is not there and rolls are reordered too late or too early. This app keeps the running balance of every roll and corrects it whenever someone measures.

What is inside:

• Fabrics with a reorder level and supplier, and rolls with received date, length, cost, cost per metre and rack
• Usage log: date, roll, job, metres and pieces, with metres per piece, and a rule that refuses a cut longer than what is left on the roll
• Roll checks: the measured length replaces the book figure from that day, and the app shows expected, measured and the difference
• Adjustments for flaws cut out, sample cuts, damaged ends, returns and remnants sold, kept separate from job cuts
• Today page: fabrics below their reorder level with a WhatsApp message to the supplier, nearly finished rolls, rolls not measured for 60 days, and stock value
• Roll card with its whole cutting history, stock list and usage log for printing
• Example data you can load in one click, a Start here guide and an Honest limits panel
• JSON backup and restore, CSV export, and CSV import with a check of every row before anything is added

Who it is for: tailors, boutiques, curtain makers and small fabric shops that buy fabric by the roll and cut it to order.

What it is NOT: It does not price jobs, hold customer orders or pay workers (see the separate tailor order book and piece rate apps). Lengths are in metres, one decimal of precision is realistic. It does not read barcodes and does not send messages by itself. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it is not connected to any government system, bank or messaging service, and it does not file or send anything by itself. UAE e-invoicing is not part of it.

Verified by us: scripted tests in Chromium (134 checks through the real screens: adding, editing and deleting records in every table, required-field messages, backup then clear then restore, CSV export then import, keyboard order, print layouts rendered to PDF, no horizontal scrolling at 375 and 1280 pixels, no network requests) and an independent recalculation by a separately written Python evaluator of 1871 calculated values (25 randomised rows plus the example data) with 0 mismatches. Not tested: Safari and Firefox beyond what is stated here, and no real printer was used (print layouts were checked as PDF).
