Textiles & hosiery · 4 entries
Textiles are not sold in units a general system understands. Fabric moves by the thaan, footwear by a ratio pack nobody breaks, sarees by a design number printed in a catalogue. A buyer who says “twenty pieces” of a ratio pack has said something specific, and reading it as twenty pairs is a wrong order that passes every validation.
Yes — against how your catalog actually sells. A ratio pack is treated as the indivisible unit it is rather than as a count of pairs, and a thaan is priced as your goods define it rather than converted to metres on an assumption. Where a quantity is genuinely ambiguous it is confirmed before it becomes an order line.
“Twenty pieces” of a ratio pack is not twenty pairs.
Two cases where a general-purpose reading produces a plausible wrong number
— Surat sarees, Tiruppur hosiery, and fabric by the roll
Is design ka thaan rate kya hai? 5 thaan chahiye
UC-084HINDISURATPALANQUIN
What you'll observe
Priced per thaan as your catalog defines it for that quality, and the design number looked up in your own range. Not converted to metres, which is a different number and a different conversation.
— footwear ships in a size curve, not as individual pairs
What you'll observe
Read as packs. A buyer asking for twenty is asking for twenty packs, and the size split inside each one is your standard curve rather than something the agent decides.
This is the case where a confident misreading is invisible: twenty pairs and twenty packs are both perfectly sensible orders, and only one of them was placed.
Two cases where the buyer is working from something that is not your catalog
— the garment is in the image and the order is in the text
Ye wala, size M, 20 piece
UC-005HINGLISHDELHIPALANQUIN
What you'll observe
The image is matched against your range and the size and quantity come from the message. If the garment is not something you carry, it says so rather than offering the nearest thing in a similar colour.
— quantities per size, for a list of classes
What you'll observe
Read against your own size chart, size by size, with the totals kept per size rather than collapsed. A uniform order that is right in total and wrong per size is a delivery that fails on day one.
No — it says the pack is the unit and hands the request to a person if the buyer wants to push. Whether you ever break a pack is a commercial decision about your own stock, and it is not one an agent should make to be accommodating.
Yes, as long as the numbers exist in your catalog data — the buyer reads them off paper and the lookup happens against your range. A photographed catalogue page works the same way.
It goes to a person with the message attached. Quality names in textiles are local and inconsistent, and guessing between two qualities at different prices produces an order the buyer will reject on arrival.
Ask it: “Is design ka thaan rate kya hai?”
You're talking to the product. Nothing you send is added to any business's catalog.
