The design overview “Partner” field will be utilized to capture the most up to date partner information. This can/ should (and will most likely will) be updated throughout the development process.  By a designated “pass off date” (see calendar) this field should be updated by the PD Team with the final “ALLOCATION FACTORY.”  If changes to final “ALLOCATION FACTORY” are made to a design after PD Team passes off to Production Team, then the Production Team will update this information.  This ownership of this “Partner” field in design overview will mirror the ownership of BOM stages. At PROTO DEVELOPMENT STAGE: Design or PD Team At SMS DEVELOPMENT STAGE: PD Team At PRODUCTION STAGE: Production Team

The design overview “Active” field will be utilized to capture the most up to design information.  This field will be utilized across the PLM system to help us filter through our designs. This field will also be utilized by many teams to help us accurately and quickly generate reports & charts in/ from PLM. The "Active" field in the design overview will be managed by the Design and/or PD Team. Who & When should make a design “Inactive?” PD/ Design Team should, when the style has NOT gone into proto development. Where do you edit the this information? Designs will be marked “Active” or “Inactive” by changing the “Active” dropdown.  This drop down field can be found in the “Design>Edit” page, or at a “mass update” level.” “Design>Edit” page: "Mass Update" page: It is imperative we keep this information up to date & accurate.

The tech design related fields in Design Overview can be found together under two section named "To be filled out by Tech Design." These fields are owned by the Teach Design Team. Depending on the field, they are updated pre and post market, or both. The fields "Size Range" and "Allowed Sizes" are managed throughout the life cycle of design. A size range and allowed sizes are imperative in order to generate measurements and create/send out development. Additionally, both size range & allowed sizes must be filled out BEFORE initial design adoption from PLM to Exenta. During/ post market, should sales / production need size range / allowed size updates to include other sizes for any styles the Tech Design team will update in PLM. (Exenta will be managed by a separate team.) The field "Reference Design/ Style/ Pattern No." acts as useful place to hold explicit references that populate on tech packs. The data from the field "Lining (Y/N)" is used downstream by the Merchandising Team to generate the Seasonal Product Copy File. Once style reaches production, please ensure this field is filled out correctly. The data from the field "Size Guidance" is used downstream by the Merchandising Team. Upon TOP approval, the Tech Design team is responsible for ensuring this field is filled out correctly.

Within a Design Overview in PLM, there is a section named "Team Members." This section is utilized to capture the most up to date team member information.  This can/ should (and will most likely will) be updated throughout the development process to reflect accurate information. This data can be used to help filter for designs within the design library. If there is name that is not yet on the Designer, Tech Designer, Pattern Maker, or Product Developer list follow instructions on linked SOP in order to add the name to the list. https://veronicabeard.freshservice.com/support/solutions/articles/23000119982

The design overview “Design Status” field will be utilized to capture the most up to design information.  *Changing this field will change the same field on all of the Colors under this design. This field will be utilized to drive STYLE STATUS in Exenta via design adoption/ re-adoption. This field will be utilized across the PLM system to help us filter through our designs. This field will also be utilized by many teams to help us accurately and quickly generate reports & charts in/ from PLM. Who is responsible for editing the “Design Status”? Keep status as "In Progress," unless style is added at market or dropped.  If a style is added at market, PD to change status to "In Progress (Added At Market)"."  If a style is dropped during proto stage, PD to change status to "Dropped (During Proto)".  If a style is dropped during SMS stage, Merchandising Team to change status to "Dropped (During SMS)."
