Material master
Item/material ID, description, category, unit of measure and managed attributes that distinguish materials.
TDG / Source system
ERPEnterprise Resource Planning
An ERP system may be the source for material master data, inventory, purchase orders and receiving records. These references can help connect a product BOM to materials a business orders and holds—provided identifiers, lots and ownership are recorded consistently.
ERP / Typical contribution
What this source may contribute.
Material inventory, item master data and purchasing references. Use these examples to guide discovery—not as a guarantee that every field is captured or a final DPP requirement list.
Inventory & lot references
Stock location, receipt, batch/lot ID and quantity where the ERP captures them at the needed level.
Purchasing records
Supplier reference, purchase-order line, receipt date and links to a BOM or customer order where available.
Scope check: An inventory balance or item master does not establish that a material is present in a particular garment. Connect product, order, receipt and production references and check them for the intended use.
Make the relationships explicit
Fields matter when they can be linked and reviewed.
A TDG data map records the source, identifier, owner and review status alongside the value.
| Example field or checkpoint | Question to resolve |
|---|---|
| Material / item ID | Do teams use the same code for the same material across systems? |
| Supplier and PO line | Can a purchase-order line be linked to the style, order or BOM version? |
| Receipt and lot / batch | Are lot references captured and available to downstream processes? |
| Unit, quantity and status | How are units, adjustments, returns and corrections recorded? |
Illustrative only. Actual field names, formats and disclosure permissions depend on client systems, business process, data rights and applicable product-specific rules.
From source to governed handoff
A practical way to map ERP data.
Make the product-data journey understandable before selecting an integration or platform.
Locate authoritative masters
Identify maintained material, supplier, unit and location records for the scope.
Resolve the product link
Map ERP material references to the selected PLM BOM, style, PO and customer order.
Check movement detail
Confirm whether receipt, stock and batch records exist at the granularity needed.
Define correction ownership
Document who resolves duplicates, quantity differences and supplier-reference errors.
Compliance boundary: A system record, certificate or readiness map is not by itself proof of compliance. Confirm evidence scope and applicable DPP rules for the product and market.
Explore related sources
Follow the product data across systems.
A product record is usually assembled across more than one source. Select another system to continue.
