Development Tech Pack Templates in PLM, and use case for each. When creating a development tech pack in PLM, always use a template.  There are 8 development tech pack templates in PLM to choose from.  See use case for each below: DEV: DEVELOPMENT TP – PROTO To be used for generating PROTO Development Tech Packs.  This template includes below sections: DEV: DEVELOPMENT TP – PROTO (Measurements in CM & Inch - Sweaters) To be used for generating PROTO Development Tech Packs when measurements in centimeters is required.  This template includes below sections: DEV: DEVELOPMENT TP – SMS To be used for generating SMS Development Tech Packs.  This template includes below sections: DEV: DEVELOPMENT TP – SMS (Measurements in CM & Inch - Sweaters) To be used for generating SMS Development Tech Packs when measurements in centimeters is required.  This template includes below sections: DEV: DEVELOPMENT TP – BOM UPDATE To be used for generating Development Tech Packs when BOM Updates need to be relayed to the factory (after initial PROTO or SMS Tech Pack has been shared with the factory.)  This template includes below sections: DEV: JEANS DEVELOPMENT TP – PROTO & SMS W/ COLOR To be used for generating PROTO or SMS Development Tech Packs for DENIM & Non Denim Designs only.  This template includes below sections: DEV: HANDBAGS & SLGs TP - PROTO & SMS W/ COLOR To be used for generating PROTO or SMS Development Tech Packs for Handbag & SLG Designs only.  This template includes below sections: DEV: HANDBAGS & SLGs TP - BOM Material List (NO COLOR) To be used for generating Development Tech Packs for Handbag & SLG Designs only, to send to factory so factory can help to cross check materials only (no material color) on BOM.  This template includes below sections:

Production Tech Pack Templates in PLM, and use case for each. When creating a production tech pack in PLM, always use a template. There are 6 production tech pack templates in PLM to choose from.  See use case for each below: PRODUCTION TEAM: BOM EXPORT To be used for generating Production Tech Packs when BOMs or BOM Updates need to be relayed to the factory.  This template includes below sections: PROD: RTW FIT (Measurements in CM & Inch) To be used for generating Production Tech Packs specifically for sweaters. To send to factories when we need to populate measurements in CM.  This template includes below sections: PROD: RTW & VBJS FIT To be used for generating Production Tech Packs to make SMS/ PP/ TOP Fit Comments Tech Pack. (Remove graded spec if it is not yet approved. If approved, use graded spec.) RTW & VBJS ONLY. This does not include BOM.  This template includes below sections: PROD: MARKING & GRADING To be used for generating Production Tech Packs used for Domestic marking/grading. It will include 'NOTES' for measurement page & graded spec page.  This template includes below sections: PROD: Jeans Fit 2* To be used by the Denim Production Team for generating a Production Tech Pack when requesting a PP sample from the factory. These samples are requested (after SMS [size 26] requests have been completed) when we launch PP sample requests in size 28 to fit on model. The tech team will update specs based on the SMS fitting and confirm once each style is ready to be launched.  This template includes below sections: PROD: JEANS FIT To be used for generating Production Tech Packs used for To be used to make SMS/ PP/ TOP Fit Comments Tech Pack. (Remove graded spec if it is not yet approved.

While working in PLM to build out and generate tech packs with BOMs (BOM Colorways,) you may encounter a challenge where the BOM is not populating / generating on the tech pack. In most cases, this is a easy fix! Please follow the below steps to ensure your BOM (BOM Colorway) is populating on your tech pack. 1. Ensure the Design has at least 1 active colorway associated with it. For example: 1 Design Colorway:  2+ Design Colorways:  2. Next, click into the BOMs section of the design. Identify the BOM you wish to include in the tech pack. Click into that BOM. For the purpose of this example, let's look at the BOM named "PROTO DEVELOPMENT." 3. Once you click into the BOM, go to the "Colors" Tab of the BOM.  At this point, you will notice that there is NO DESIGN COLORWAY COLUMN (this column would be visible where red arrow is pointing.)  In order for a BOM (BOM COLORWAY) to populate on the tech pack, we must have color(s) associated with the BOM. To associate a color(s) with the BOM click "Hide/Show Color" at the top of the BOM. (Highlighted in green box.) 4. Once you click "Hide/Show Colors," you will be prompted with below pop up. If you see that the Design Colorway does not have a blue check next to it (as imaged below) proceed to next step.  5. Check the box next to the colorway you wish associate with the BOM, and click "Update." 6. Once you click "Update," the system will navigate you back to the BOM where the DESIGN COLORWAY COLUMN will now be visible.  7. Now that you have associated a color(s) with the BOM, this BOM (BOM COLORWAY) will generate on your tech pack. 

In order to share a BOM with a Partner, you will need to create a BOM EXPORT Tech Pack.  In order to do so, follow below steps. 1. Identify the design you will be working in. Ensure information in overview is correct/ current.  Design Name Season Department Size Range Name Allowed Sizes Partner Design Main Material Reference Design/ Style/ Pattern No. 2. Ensure the PRODUCTION BOM is:  Correctly named (PRODUCTION) Has all materials and relevant information filled out. Placement BOM Comments Yield/ QTY UOM Partner RM Item Size Responsibility Has SMS Design Colorways "showing."  Has Material Colors selected for each material, under each Design Colorway. Is approved. 3. Click "Tech Pack Section" of design. 4. Click "Create Tech Pack" (at top right of screen.) 5. Select the Template: "PRODUCTION TEAM: BOM EXPORT" & rename your tech pack "PRODUCTION BOM" 6. Ensure all SMS Design Colorways are selected. 7. Click next. 8. At the next page, ensure: Under Section "BOM Colorway" - Only "PRODUCTION" BOM is selected. (Deselect other BOM.) Click "Create Tech Pack" You have now successfully created a "BOM EXPORT" TECH PACK.  To view your tech pack, click the download button. This will give you the ability to open the document and "save as." To download a PDF link to your tech pack, follow the below steps. This will give you the ability to share your document via a PDF URL link. 1. Click the 3 vertical dot button. () 2. Select "Copy Download Link" 3. The PDF link is now "copied," and can be "pasted" to be shared. Link: https://veronicabeard.plmrevo.com/downloads/664bb748-fead-4a63-9cf5-5bc4fe381887

Within PLM, there is a Tech Pack Library. To access the Tech Pack Library, click the sourcing icon: Then click, "Tech Packs." You will then be brought to the "Tech Pack Library." Here, you can utilize the filter tab to narrow down the tech packs you are looking at.
