PLM: Building Out BOMs in PLM - Associating Material Colors on a BOM
When building out BOMs in PLM, you will need to associate material colors for each material line listed on the BOM.
In order to associate material color please follow the below steps.
Step 1: Once the materials have been added to the BOM, go to the "COLORS" TAB of a BOM:
From here, you should see the Design Colorway(s) at the top of each column at the right side of the BOM. If you see this, go to Step 3.
If you do not see the Design Colorway(s) at the top of each column at the right side of the BOM like below image go to Step 2.
Step 2: In order for a user to associate material colors for each material line listed on the BOM. We will need to ensure the Design Colorway(s) are "showing" on the BOM. In order to achieve this, click "Hide/Show Colors."
Once you click this, below (in red) will pop up. Click the colorway(s) you would like to show on the BOM. Then click "Update."
Once you click "Update" you will be brought back to the "Colors" Tab of the BOM.
At this stage, we are now ready to associate material colors with each material line of the BOM.
Step 3: Click the drop down box under the Design Colorway column, and on the material line, that you would like to "fill a color in."
When you do this, a list of all material colors from that material will be available for you to select from.
To select, you can either:
1. Scroll through the list until you find what you are looking for, then click.
2. Search for the color by the "Color Name," then click.
3. Search for the color by the "Color Service Number," then click.
See below of JY32 Material Color List with searchable terms highlighted:
After you complete Step 3, you will have associated the material color on a BOM.
Repeat this process as needed, until all material colors are associated for each material line listed on the BOM.
