Creating Single Variation Overrides

Reasons for creating overrides vary by variation, but the process for creating these overrides is the same. While you can create colorway overrides using columns, you can only create overrides for the remaining variations (source, size, destination) using rows. Creating these overrides using rows is done in the same manner as described in Colorways Rows.

• You do not need to click Hide/Show to display the Variation column. The system automatically displays the Variation column for the variation that you have selected.

• You do not have to click Save after you create each variation override.

• You can collapse and expand each component while selecting different variations. The overrides you create are stored until you click Save. Then, your overrides are permanently saved.

• You can exit the Edit BOM window at any time without clicking Save or Save and Check In. Any overrides created or modified since your last save are discarded.

Different sources might require different materials to be used for a given component. This is typically determined by which materials are available to the factory producing the product, by way of material on hand or nearby suppliers, thus reducing the cost of shipping the materials.

Size overrides are most commonly created to adjust the quantity or cut length of a material. A different size often results in different costs due to differing amounts of material. It may also be necessary to replace a material based on size. For example, a larger size might require a stronger material for a waist band, or a different length or type of zipper might need to be used.

You must select a size category from the Size Category list to select a size variation.

A BOM might include labeling or packaging information. This information might vary by destination, which requires destination overrides.
