The Collections enable you to set up groups of Masters, each group representing a Collection. This way you can create orders holding a certain Collection and the program will control that only Masters within this Collection can be accepted as a choice in the order.
The Masters can be related to a Collection as Collection Master Relations of which you can create any number necessary.
Another way is to create Collection Shipment Date Codes
related to the Collection and then create the Collection Master Relations related to these
Collection Shipment Date Codes.
Collection Master Relations and Collection Shipment Date Codes can be created for a Collection in general or only for samples. To create Collection Master Relations or Collection Shipment Date Codes for a Collection in general, select Master Relations or Shipment Date Codes on the Home tab. To create the same for samples, use Sample Master Relations or Sample Shipment Date Codes on the Navigate tab.
If you select VarDim Type Subset on the Navigate tab, you will be able to define a VarDim Type Subset to be used in connection with creation and maintaining of Masters by use of the Master Wizard.
You can use the functionality of Workflow with the Collections so from the Collection list you have access to Workflow via Collection Workflow, Workflow Due List and Template for Workflow on the Navigate tab.
The PDM Calculations can be used with Collections to create a calculation
of each Master related to the Collection, directly or via
one of the Collection Shipment Date Codes.
In connection with the Calculation Template Header
you will find the Calculation Overview Setup on the Navigate tab where you
enter the basic information needed for creation of the PDM calculations.
Besides the Global Dimension 1 Code and Global Dimension 2 Code, which can be filled directly into the fields of the Collection List, you can select Dimensions on the Navigate tab to add further Dimension Codes to a Collection.
Private Label on the Navigate tab is used for setting up a Collection as Private Label of one or more Customers and/or Country/Regions.
