Posted Fri, 11/19/2010 - 16:38 by Anonymous

Background:
1. The entire material color information can not solely be articulated in words, for instance, customer and supplier may need the actual color information for confirmation. In order to record the approval information, it designed the material approval function.
2. The color combo also need to approval by the customer, as result, the garment color approval function is created.

Case Solution:
It provides the color approval function to the material. The color approval includes two parts: 1. Material Color Approval 2.

Future Solution:
Refer to the color approval information to control Purchasing. User need to apply different control on different customer, for the greige fabric purchased by some customer, their practice don’t have any color approval control before purchase, user only need to approve the color before dying. For other customer, the case may be different, they may needed color approval before purchasing. Our system recently do not have the management in this level, we are waiting for the feedback from customer inorder to develop for the best solution.

Design Solution:
1. Material Color Approval
1) System Foundation Setting
In respect to the material color approval function, user need to tick the [Color dependent] in the System Foundation> [Material Class] in order to activate the material approval function.

2) Color approval setting in Material Planning
In creating the BOM list in Material Planning, if the color dependent box of the added material has been checked in system foundation, the [Color Approval Required] will be displayed. System will checked this box as default, however, if the material no longer needs to do the color approval, user can manually uncheck this box.


3) How to approve
3.1 Material color approval
There are two directories for the color approval in Material Planning Module. The first is the [color approval] on the top right hand corner of [Material Planning] directory, the second is the [Material Color Approval] in the [Color Way] directory.

Click the [color approval] on the top right hand corner of [Material Planning] directory or the [Material Color Approval] in the [Color Way] directory to enter the following directory.

This is the approval of material color. It included all the color need to be approved in the BOM list of this order. In related to the color approved, user can directly check the [Approved] box, the system will automatically retrieve the current date to the [Approve Date]. For instance, user can also manually modify the [Approve Date]. The remark can also be filled as well.
User can click the [Approve All] button on the bottom right hand corner, to approve all color or cancel approve all color.

When a specific material color has been approved, in the [Materials] directory, the color approve icon will be highlighted.

3.2 Garment Color Approval Function
In the [Color Way] directory, we can see that the first row is that garment color of the order style and the second row [Approve] is referring to the approval status of the garment color. The following is the Color Combo solution of the BOM list in that order. If any Color in the Color Combo has been approved, that approve icon will be highlighted.

In [Color Way], user can either approve the material color or the garment color.

In [Garment Color Approval], user can click the [approved] checkbox to confirm the approval. The Approve Date will be automatically updated as current date, user can also input the Remark.
After approval, the approved icon of the garment color will be highlighted.

Apart from this, the [Color] of the style in Sales Order Directory can also execute the Color Approval.
