Adding items from Style, Material, and Trim

By default, style, material, or trim records that have been added on the style's BOM page are not automatically updated when changes are made on the same records in the Style, Material, or Trim panels. Configuring the BOM details update settings enables Infor Fashion PLM to synchronize records added on a style's BOM page and the actual material and trim records.

See Configuring BOM details update settings.

  1. Open the Style, Material, and Trim panels.
    Float the windows and dock them to any side of the main window for side-by-side viewing.
  2. Drag and drop items from Style, Material, and Trim to the BOM details panel.

    All the Style, Material and Trim records that are added in the BOM tab are hyper-linked to their respective record information. You can click a hyper-linked item to go directly to a record's Overview tab. On-the-fly items that will be added in the BOM tab are not hyper-linked.

    Note: To add multiple styles, materials, or trims simultaneously, select two or more items while pressing Ctrl on your keyboard.
  3. Specify this information:
    CI

    Select the check box to mark the BOM item as a cost indicator (CI).

    A BOM item that you mark as a cost indicator will be included in the computation of the style's costing.

    Note: This enables you to map the item to a cost element.

    See Defining cost element properties.

    Sequencing sorts BOM items for viewing. To modify the sequence of BOM items:

    Note: When you generate a BOM report, the supplier information of material and trim records are included. Since the Supplier column in BOM is editable, if you try to modify the number or name of a supplier of a BOM item, and it does not match with the supplier information of the source record, the generated BOM report will not display the Supplier Item Number and Supplier Item Name of a BOM item.
