Fiber Transfer Document
A transaction record generated during fiber processing accompanies a batch of extracted fibers from the extraction mill to the spinning facility. In the flax supply chain, a scutcher delivery note is issued once the woody stems have been removed and the clean, long-fiber flax has been baled. This document lists the bale count, total weight, and moisture content of the shipped fiber lot.
Spinners use this record to verify that the arriving raw material corresponds to the initial purchase order and satisfies the minimum weight requirements. Such recording acts as the primary link in the chain of custody for certified flax varieties.
Quality Assessment
A technical evaluation on the document records the grade, color, and average length of the flax fiber batch. Since Chinese mills often source flax from multiple growers, the scutcher delivery note provides essential classification data to the spinning manager. This data allows the manager to allocate the fiber to the appropriate yarn count run.
A discrepancy in the fiber grade leads to a re-evaluation of the raw material before spinning begins.
Inventory Reconciliation
A comparison of the mill’s reception log with the delivery paperwork prevents errors in stock levels. When the scutcher delivery note is finalized, the warehouse manager inputs the verified figures into the enterprise resource system. This tracking ensures that fiber consumption matches the yarn output during the spinning run.
