Simplifying the Creation of an Override
You can create multiple overrides for a single component. The prioritization of overrides is controlled by a property setting.
For example, a source override might specify that for this particular source, use Supplier A, and an additional override may be created that specifies to use a fabric from Supplier B for a certain colorway. It could become unclear which override applies to which variation when overrides intersect, such as when the Supplier B colorway is produced by the Supplier A source.
There are steps you can follow to simplify the creation of an override.
• Assign material components at the top (product) level first, without selecting variations.
• Enter colors specific to the material for each colorway using the individual colorways columns.
• If all colorways use the same color, enter that color in the Color column, instead of in the individual colorways columns.
• Select only the variations that you want to create an override for. Expand the rows of the BOM section table to work with those cells specific to the override that you want to create.
• If overrides intersect, display all of the affected variations to ensure that you can create the correct override.
