Creating sample measurements

In Infor Fashion PLM, you can create measurements for sampling requests. Creating sample measurements enables you to request samples of different sizes from your supplier.

You can define sample measurements in two ways:
  • Through the Measurements tab in the style details page
  • Through the Request panel

See Creating requests.

Before you start creating sample measurements, you must first define the measurements of your style.

See Determining style measurements.

  1. On the Measurements tab of a style details page, click Sample.
  2. Click the New icon.
    The panel is populated with POMs, sizes, and measurement values from the Master Page.
  3. Specify sample measurement details:
    Size Range
    This field shows the size range that the sample page corresponds to.
    Note: A sample page is created for each size range that is selected in the Master Page.

    You can create multiple sample measurements for each size range.

    Sample Code
    Specify a code.
    Request Sub Type

    Select a request subtype from the list.

    You can define request subtypes in Generic Lookup.

    Sample Size

    Select a sample size from the list.

    The sample size enables you to revise your measurements.

    Note: If the sample size that you select for your sample measurements is not the same sample size that you specified in the master page, the master page will be updated to display your sample size in your sample measurements.
    Status

    Select In Process, Received, Rejected, Approved, Cancelled, or any user-defined status.

    If the status of a sample measurement is Rejected or Approved, the measurement values and their respective revisions are reflected back to the master page. Ensure that a sample size is selected in the sample page before you approve or reject a sampling request.

    Iteration

    Displays the number of sample pages created per subtype of the style.

  4. Select requested sample sizes.

    Available options depend on the size range that you selected on the Master Page.

    These columns are added in the measurements table:

    • Sample

      Indicates the measurements for the selected sample size

    • Supplier

      Indicates the supplier's measurements for the selected sample size

    • Own

      Indicates your own measurements for the selected sample size

    • Deviation

      Displays the difference between your measurements and that of the sample for the selected sample size

    • Revised

      Enables you to revise the initial values of sample measurements that you submitted to your supplier and reflect those revised values back to the master page.

      Note: You can still add more sample sizes and change your initially selected sample size.

      To see your sample measurements reflected on the master page, you must set the sample measurement page to approved.

  5. To assign images to your sample measurement, drag and drop an image from your local computer to the image holder on the Sample panel.
  6. Click Save or Save and Close.
    Note: The number of sample measurements created for each style is displayed in the Master Page tab. The latest sample page created for the style record is also displayed.
