To enable the production profile of the employee, you need to select the option Is a Production Worker, which is in Basic Info.

Next in Eligible Garments, select the garment category, sub-category and tailoring items in which the worker will do the cutting process. Define the piece rate type if it is fixed or percent.
Here the piece rate can be set individually for each employee/worker and individual items. If you want to set piece rates for all workers, then you can set the rates in category and item level.
While entering the piece rate amount you can select the option Use Master Piece Rate, this way the piece rate that you had defined in the product category level or sales template level will be applied. And if you do not want to use that piece rate then uncheck the option. Then you will see a column where you can add the piece rate amount.
You can set the time limit for each work/process so as a result you will see the next availability date of each worker in the worker status section which is in the production module. In the Required Minutes column, set the time that is required for the trial and full finish process.
And again the piece rate is defined in three types: one is a normal trial, different types of trials and a full finish piece rate. If you do not want to add trial types then you can add the piece rate in the normal trial piece rate column and if you have defined trial types then set the piece rates accordingly. Then add the finishing piece rates for each item.
Define all the garment category according to the eligibility of the worker and submit.
