Copying a material

  1. Select Basics > Materials.
  2. Right-click a material that you want to make a copy of and select Copy.

    You can also open a material then click the Copy Material icon.

    Depending on your permissions, you may or not see this option. If you cannot see the option, contact your administrator or see the Infor CloudSuite PLM for Fashion Administration Guide.

  3. Specify this information:
    Number
    Specify a material number.

    If the ID generator is set up for the Material module and you do not specify a number, the ID generator automatically generates the number based on the next number in the series.

    If the ID generator is not set up, you must specify a number. The application validates this field when you click Execute.

    Name
    Specify the name of the copied material.

    By default, the name of the copy is the name of the material prefixed with the phrase "Copy of".

  4. Select information clusters whose contents will be copied for this copy.
    By default, all information clusters are selected. You can clear items that you do not require.

    You can only copy an information cluster if your role has the Copy permission for that cluster.

    Note: If enabled in the settings, inactive colors are not copied.

    Contact your administrator or see the Infor CloudSuite PLM for Fashion Administration Guide.

  5. Click the Execute icon.
    After the task is finished, the copied material appears in a new tab.
