Managing requests for samples

Requests for samples require a supplier's measurements for each point of measure indicated in the style information. Within Partner Collaboration, you have the option to send your measurement values to your customer in Infor Fashion PLM, or save your changes and send your measurements at a later date. After your measurement values are received in the Infor Fashion PLM application, your customer can approve or reject your measurements.
