PLM: Building Out BOMs in PLM - Step By Step: SMS DEVELOPMENT BOM
Steps to take when building out a SMS DEVELOPMENT BOM:
OPTION 1:
1. Identify the design you will be working in.
On the Design > Colors Section:
2. Associate the SMS SAMPLE COLOR(S) with the design.
- If SMS SAMPLE COLOR is different than the PROTO SAMPLE COLOR, associate the SMS SAMPLE COLOR(S) with the design. Then make the PROTO SAMPLE COLOR inactive (see below "INACTIVE" design color.)
- If SMS SAMPLE COLOR is same as the PROTO SAMPLE COLOR leave as is and go to OPTION 2.
On the Design> BOMs Section:
3. Create a NEW BOM and name it "SMS DEVELOPMENT"
On the "MATERIALS" TAB of BOM:
4. Add the materials to the SMS DEVELOPMENT BOM.
5. Add the "Yield/ QTY" (QTY ONLY) to all materials, except material types:
- Yarns
- Fabrics
- Linings
- Interlinings
On the "COLORS" TAB of BOM:
6. Associate material colors with the materials on the BOM.
Your BOM is now ready to be included in your tech pack.

On the "COLORS" TAB of BOM:
6. Associate material colors with the materials on the BOM (as needed.)

Please note it is the Product Development Team's responsibility to "APPROVE" the SMS DEVELOPMENT BOM before the BOM Review Meeting.
Before APPROVING SMS DEVELOPMENT BOM, all materials & material colors, QTY, Placement & BOM Comments Columns should be filled out correctly reflecting SMS Sample.
* Note re. sub colors: If a sub color is used on a SMS due to availability, color for production should be updated before SMS DEVELOPMENT BOM is approved.
