8 Thread YY

To update Thread YY, there two different methods defined, one for Lululemon customer account and the second for all others

  1. Lululemon - tab on the main screen named ‘Thread YY’
  2. All other Customers - tab on the main screen named ‘Thread YY - IE’

8.1 Lululemon

For the Lululemon account the Thread YY is updated into this system by the Development Merchant.

The ‘Thread YY’ tab works in a similar way as the Multiple BOM Editor tab and allows the users to Add / Update / Remove bom line items.

The differences on the Thread YY tab as compared to the Multiple BOM Editor tab are…

  • Thread YY tab only works for Thread items

  • Limited number of BOM columns, ones that are relevant for Thread items

  • Shows the Total Order Quantity as updated on the Orderbook tab by the Bulk Merchant - used for YY calculation

  • Merchant can update the No of Cones, YY shall be calculated based on No of Cones and Total Order Qty

    \[ Thread YY = \frac{\text{No of Cones}}{\text{Total Order Qty}} \]

8.1.1 PE Threads

As a custom requirement, there is a feature available on the Thread YY tab to mark selected Thread Line Items as ‘PE Thread’.

To update a Thread line item as a PE Thread, there is a column added at the right end of the grid, named ‘PE Thread’. Here, one can ‘check’ or ‘un-check’ the items.

For any Thread Line item, if PE Thread is marked as checked, then in the background, system changes the following columns on the BOM

  • Destination Spec = Yes

  • Destination = PE Thread
