Carrying Over Materials, Material Suppliers, and Material Colors Using the Carry Over To Function
Using the Carry Over To function, you can carry over materials. This action starts in the source materials tracker and pushes items to the destination materials tracker. This action also carries over the items and collection link values. The collection object for the destination tracker must be at the same level or higher in the type hierarchy than the collection object for the source tracker.
To use the Carry Over To function, do the following:
1. On the Materials Tracker Dashboard page of the source dashboard, select the checkbox next to each material, material supplier, or material color you want to carry over.
2. From the Actions list, select Carry Over To.
3. On the Carry Over To: Choose Collection page, from the Materials Tracker list, select a materials tracker. The original materials tracker dashboard appears.
◦ If the selected materials do not have suppliers or colors associated in the dashboard, the system adds the materials to the destination materials tracker and copies the Material to Collection link values from the source materials tracker.
◦ If you selected one or more material suppliers, the system adds the material suppliers to the destination materials tracker and copy the Material Supplier to Collection link values from the source materials tracker. If the materials are not associated to the destination materials tracker, the system adds the materials to the destination materials tracker and copies the Material to Collection link values from the source materials tracker.
◦ If you selected one or more material colors, the system adds the material colors to the destination materials tracker and copies the Material Color to Collection link values from the source materials tracker.
▪ If the materials are not associated to the destination materials tracker, the system adds the materials to the destination materials tracker and copies the Material to Collection link values from the source materials tracker.
▪ If the material suppliers are not associated to the destination materials tracker, the system adds the material suppliers to the destination materials tracker and copies the Material Supplier to Collection link values from the source materials tracker.
