Associating modules to your organizational structure

Before you start associating modules to your organization, you must set up your organizational structure.

See Setting up your organizational structure.

Infor Fashion PLM enables you to associate certain modules to each level of your organizational structure. Items under associated modules are automatically available under that organizational level.

For example, by associating the materials Spandex, Nylon, and Cotton in the organizational level Swimming Essentials (Brand) > Winter 2013 (Season) > New York Fashion Week (Collection), any style record that you create under that data hierarchy will have these materials as default options.

You can associate these modules to your organizational structure:
  • Color palettes
  • Materials
  • Trims
  • Suppliers
  • Size ranges
  1. On the Organizational Structure panel, right-click an organizational level and select Data Holder.
  2. From the main menu, open the panel of the module that you want to associate to your organizational structure.
    Dock it to any side of the main window for side-by-side viewing.
  3. On the module panel, drag and drop an item to the Data Holder panel.
    Note: You can rename the group name of each feature. To specify a new group name, double-click the group name cell.
  4. To associate a specific record under a module, expand the module group.
  5. Drag and drop a record to a level on the Organizational Structure panel.
  6. To verify that the action was successful, right-click the organizational level and select Structure Data.
    The Structure Data displays all associated color palettes, materials, trims, suppliers, and size ranges to an organization level.
