PLM: Design Overview - Body No. - What It Is & How To Use

Within the design overview, there is a Design Attribute Field named "Body No."

This information will house the Body No. Name & Code that relates back to the design. The Body No. Name & Code selected, will help to generate the design's style no.

OPTION 1: WHEN DEVELOPING A DESIGN WITH AN ESTABLISHED SILHOUETTE

When building out a design, if the design's silhouette has been developed before, select the established body no. / name from the list.

For example, if you are developing a "Miller Jacket" select this from the drop down option.

Continue to fill out other information as needed, and click save (or save & close.)

Upon saving, your style number will generate with the Body No. Code.

(As long as a complete style no. has not yet been generated by the system you will see that the corresponding code (1492) populates in the style number.)

Please see below flow chart to indicate how system is generating the style no.

OPTION 2: WHEN DEVELOPING A DESIGN WITH A NEW SILHOUETTE

When building out a design, if the design's silhouette has never been developed before, you will need to add the Body No. Name & Code to the drop down list.

See SOP on "When to create a new Body No. in PLM."

See SOP on "Who creates a new body no. in PLM."

See SOP on "How to create a new Body No." to PLM.

Once new Body No. & Code is added, go back to OPTION 1.
