The direct answer

Why alterations need more than a generic repair button

The value of an alterations job is in the instruction: which garment, what change, where it applies, what the customer approved, who is responsible and when it is due. DCME keeps that detail tied to the item and customer rather than reducing the job to a single generic sale.
