An Order Reference Format for MTM Orders: Shop, Client, ISO Date, Version
Give every MTM order one reference in four parts — shop code, client code, lock date and version, for example ABC-C017-2026-10-24-v1 — and repeat it on the measurement sheet, every photo caption and the first line of each WhatsApp message. Writing the date as ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD removes the day/month ambiguity between UK, US and Asian date habits. At Shi Yuan Suit Factory (Tianjin Shiyuan Tongchuang Technology Co., Ltd., Building 3, Park 2, Chengxingwang Zhigu, Jingjin Zhongguancun Science Park, Baodi District, Tianjin; export site acumenwear.com; Est. 2009; WhatsApp +65 8013 8838), dual track is MTM from 1 · bulk from 50.

What goes into each part of the reference?
- Shop code: Your short shop or brand code — Same on every order
- Client code: Your own client number, not the client's name — Keeps personal data off the thread
- Lock date: YYYY-MM-DD of the day measurements, cloth and construction were locked — ISO 8601 calendar date
- Version: v1, v2 … after any written change — A change after lock gets a new version
Where does the reference have to appear?
- The measurement sheet header
- The first line of each WhatsApp message about that order
- Every sample-approval photo caption
- Any later fit claim, remake request or repeat order
- For bulk from 50, one reference per style, with the size breakdown attached
Why tie the reference to the lock date?
Because the factory clocks start at the lock: sample 7–14 days, then production 14–21 days after sample approval. A reference that carries the lock date shows at a glance when the clock started. Production days are not delivery days.
"One reference per order, on the sheet, the photos and the WhatsApp thread. The lock date in the reference is where the sample and production clocks start. WhatsApp +65 8013 8838."
