Bundle information doesn't exist on the PO itself in Attire yet — but your supplier needs to know how much of the order should be packed into ready bundles and how much is loose garments. PO Summary works this out for you and builds an attachment you can send along with the PO.
What the tool does
PO Summary takes a PO and shows, per article and color, how the ordered quantity splits between loose SKUs and finished bundles — which pack variants are involved, and the size breakdown inside each pack. The result can be exported as a clean attachment for your supplier, so packing starts off right.
The files you upload
The tool needs two standard exports from Attire. Columns are recognized automatically, even if they're in a different order.
1. PO Source Report
One row per PO, article, color, size and pack allocation — with ordered Qty, Size Order, and (if that row belongs to a bundle) a Bundle column with a pack name, e.g. 15-PACK (x 3). The same article/color/size can appear on several rows — one without a Bundle tag (the loose portion) and one per pack variant touching that size — and each row's Qty is that row's own share, not a repeat of the size's whole total. The size's real total is the sum of all its rows.
2. Bundle Report
Defines the contents of each pack variant per article and color: Total Qty (garments in one pack) and Bundle Contents — a size breakdown inside the pack, e.g. S: 1, M: 2, L: 3, ....
How the calculation works
- The two files are joined on article number + color code + pack label. Any
(x N)suffix on the PO's Bundle column is stripped before the label is compared against the Bundle Report — it's just a label decoration in some exports, not a reliable pack count. - For each size: loose quantity is the Qty of the row(s) with no Bundle tag, and packed quantity per pack variant is the Qty of the row(s) tagged with that pack — read straight from the PO Source Report, not derived from the Bundle Report's size breakdown. The size's total is simply the sum of all of it.
- The number of packs shown for a variant (e.g. "3x 15-PACK") is calculated as that pack's summed garment quantity ÷ its Total Qty from the Bundle Report. If that doesn't divide evenly, the card is flagged as a data inconsistency — usually because a size the pack should touch is missing from the PO or the Bundle Report is out of date.
- If a Bundle tag in the PO Source Report has no matching pack definition, that row's quantity is counted as Unknown pack instead of being guessed at, and it shows up as a warning.
The result is a decision aid for how the order should be packed — not a substitute for bundle information living on the PO itself in Attire.
How to read the results
At the top: a summary for the whole PO — total units, how much is packed vs. loose, and how many packs are on order.
Each article and color gets its own card with a one-line summary (e.g. "INDIGO Jeans 705: 44 units — 0% loose, 100% packed: 1x 12-PACK 30", 1x 12-PACK 32", 1x 8-PACK 34""), a stacked bar chart showing loose and each pack variant per size, and a compact table with exact numbers — sizes run across the columns, so the table stays short no matter how many sizes an article has. Below the table, a Pack definitions section lists how each pack variant is actually built (units per pack, broken down by size) straight from the Bundle Report — this is what your supplier needs to assemble the packs correctly, separate from how many were ordered. Cards with issues are flagged with
Data inconsistency or
Unknown pack — expand the warning box at the top for details. A pack count prefixed with ~ (e.g. "~3x") means it didn't divide evenly into the pack's Total Qty — hover it for an explanation; this usually points to a quantity issue in the PO Source Report itself, not something to fix here.
The tool shows one PO at a time. Switch POs from the dropdown at the top.
Exporting for your supplier
Export PDF for supplier gives a clean attachment with a summary, chart, compact table and pack definitions per article and color, laid out four to a page — ready to send with the PO. Export Excel gives the same data in two sheets: every detail row per size, and a summary per article and color, if you need to work further with the numbers.
