Generating Placeholders from a Season Plan
After the plan data is approved for line plan development, you can generate placeholders to drive individual product development. You can generate placeholders from the season line sheet or a season plan.
Generating Placeholders for a Season Plan
To generate placeholders for a season plan, on the Plan Details page, under Plan Data, click Generate Placeholders.
* 
If placeholders have already been generated, the Generate Placeholders option is not available.
Placeholders can be created for the season line plan using Generate Placeholders button. Values for matching attributes will be copied to place holder from season line plan if you choose to Update Placeholder value. The product count in the plan determines the number of placeholders generated for each bucket.
Updating Placeholders
The placeholder attributes are target values used to drive desired financial data for the products as they are in development.
When product counts are updated, you can select the Update Placeholder checkbox and click Generate Placeholders.
You can also select the Update Placeholder checkbox when value attributes are updated. Updates to value attributes are applied to placeholders without product associations.
