A cut order is an authorization to cut a given amount of fabric for a style, made from one or more types of fabric. The cut order planning process is a dynamic one. The function must respond to the ever-changing status of many critical factors such as sales, inventory levels, raw materials, and availability of labor and equipment. The variety of sizes, styles, fabrics, and colors induces significant complexity into the problem.

From the above production order, cutting order is printed or hand written. A cut order consists of the following information:

1. Date of issue of order, serial number of the order.
2. Style No/Name of the garment
3. General description of the garment
4. List of the types of fabrics to be cut
5. Mill no/name of the fabrics to be cut
6. Color, size distribution – total per size & color
7. Date of shipment of the garments
8. Special remarks with reference to zips, buttons, tags, shoulder pads etc

A cutting ticket is an authorization to cut a number of garments that are to be cut from one or more spreads, depending on the materials used for cutting.
