Additional Measurements Functionality
Exporting Measurement Sets
You can export product measurement sets to a PDF file when you export the specification that the measurement set is associated to. For more information, see “Measurement Set: FitSpec” and “Measurement Set: Grades” in Reports.
Relationship to Samples
Measurement sets are used in the creation of a fit sample. Samples require you to select from a source and specification combination. Measurement sets that exist for the given combination are in turn used to generate the fit information for the sample set, providing size, placement, and tolerance information, as well as how to measure instructions. Updated fit sample information might also update the measurement set. For more details on working with samples, see Samples.
Relationship to Bill of Materials
Product sizing and the size category are two of the five existing bill of material (BOM) variations. The size category dictates which sizes are available for the given BOM, and the sizes in turn might affect any size overrides that exist for the BOM. For more information on BOMs, see Bill of Materials.
Relationship to Cost Sheet
Product sizing and the size category are also used in the cost sheet. Users can specify for which size category and related sizes they want to generate an active or what if cost sheet, and then select a representative size for use in calculations. If a BOM roll-up customization exists, then product sizing and size category cost values can be used when calculating total cost sheet value. For more information on cost sheets, see Costing.
