Step 4B: Update Yarns Tokens to Fabric Tokens

← Back to Step 3.5: Choose Your Workflow | Skip to Step 5: Manager Approval →

When to update tokens

Update tokens after you finish production of a fabric batch, before shipping to your customer.

Typical flow:

1. Receive yarn tokens from your suppliers

2. Use that yarn to produce fabric

3. Production complete → Update tokens now (link yarn to fabric)

4. Ship fabric to customer and send them the updated token

How to update tokens

Go to: Update > Update Tokens

1. Select Token Type

2. Add Fabric Details

Fill in the physical details of your fabric.

Total weight

Enter the total weight of the fabric batch in kg.

Important: This is net weight only. Include the fabric itself, exclude packaging.

Fabric composition

Click "Add Composition"

A side menu opens. Declare what your fabric is made of.

For each fiber type in your fabric:

1. Select material from dropdown (organic cotton, recycled polyester, etc.)

2. Enter percentage (type the number or drag the slider)

3. Sustainable? Toggle the switch ON if this fiber has a sustainability claim

4. Select claim type (organic, recycled, etc.)

5. If recycled: specify post-industrial or post-consumer

Link yarn tokens from suppliers

This is the key step. You're linking the yarn tokens you received to the fabric you produced.

Click "Connect Aware™ Assets and Add Other Materials"

To link yarn tokens:

1. Toggle "Aware™ Asset" switch ON

2. Select token type: Yarn

3. Select the specific yarn tokens you received from your suppliers

4. Enter amount used from each yarn token

5. Enter waste (if any)

6. Token deduction and balance calculate automatically

7. Click "Add Material"

Repeat for each yarn token you're using in this fabric batch.

Add other materials (if needed)

If you used materials that aren't on Aware™ (trims, accessories, other fibers), add them manually.

To add unregistered materials:

1. Leave "Aware™ Asset" switch OFF

2. Select material type from dropdown

3. If multiple small components (buttons, zippers, labels), use "Non-Fabric Materials"

4. Enter material details

5. Click "Add Material"

3. Tracer Technology

If the yarn tokens you received contain tracer technology, it will show here automatically.

Aware™ Tracer:
If your supplier's yarn contains Aware™ tracer, select it and enter the Tracer Positive Scan Date. No need to upload a test report.

Third-party tracer:
Select "Custom," enter tracer name, and upload the test report.

No tracer? Skip this section.

4. Self Validation (Prove Material Origins)

Self Validation proves the feedstock origin of sustainable fibers in your fabric.

This backs up your sustainability claims with documents.

Click "Add Self Validation"

For each sustainable fiber source, provide:

Mandatory data:

• Weight (kg)

• Feedstock type (organic cotton, recycled polyester, etc.)

• Feedstock supplier type

• Supplier name and address

Mandatory uploads:

• Invoice

• Packing list

• Proof of delivery

Optional but recommended:
Certifications, lab tests, additional documents

Declaration:
Enter your full name and check the box to confirm the information is accurate.
