Import bundle list
Drop in the cutting room Bundle list .xlsm as it is — every page sheet is read (PO, job, product, colour, lay, dyelot, size, sobar range, qty, parts and the order size breakdown). Import the same workbook again after more lays are cut and only the new bundles are added.
CSV also works — columns: style, colour, cut_no, bundle_no, size, qty; optional: lay, dyelot, order_no, component, printer.

Database
Locations
Staff — sorters, dispatchers, receiving clerks & supervisors
Everyone who signs in to the Sorter app, each with their own 4–6 digit PIN. A supervisor PIN clears wrong-job alarms and reopens closed bags. Changes need a supervisor PIN (not needed for the very first supervisor).
Bag labels
Generic, pre-numbered bag labels (BAG-000123). Any sorter can use any label: the first bundle scanned in locks the bag to that job and dyelot. Numbers are never reused.
