APQP/PPAP: View Customer Packages
The "APQP/PPAP View Customer List" page for packages shows all APQP/PPAP packages created by your company for a customer, as well as APQP/PPAP packages created on your company's behalf by a customer. Clicking a row on the table causes its corresponding record to open.
The search field in the top-right of the table can be used to filter the report by part number, part name, supplier, and customer. There are also icons at the top of each column that allow a user to select or provide an entry to filter by.
Add APQP: Opens the Create APQP page
Export: Generates an Excel file with the current contents of the APQP/PPAP table
Columns: Used to add or remove columns from the APQP/PPAP table.
Columns
Most columns are derived from fields on the record's related APQP/PPAP forms or approval forms, but some are unique to the APQP/PPAP list pages:
Next Item Due and Next Item Due Date: These two columns display the next item due based on next item due date
Next Custom Item Due and Next Custom Item Due Date: These two columns display the next item due that is not an element based on next custom item due date.
Package Status:
In-Work - Package is not one of the other statuses
Completed - All required fields are entered and all required items in the checklist tab are submitted and approved

Not Scheduled: Package does not have a due date
Scheduled: Package has a due date

Last Approval Form Status: The approval status of an APQP record's most recently created Approval Form (PSW). An APQP record can be considered closed once its Final Approval Form has been approved.

Void - Approval form has been terminated by the supplier or customer prior to approval.
Has Concerns: While signing for an item on an APQP form, the supplier may be asked to complete a questionnaire with multiple possible answers. Certain answers, when selected, may indicate the supplier has issues or concerns with the item that need to be addressed.
"Yes" will appear in this column if an answer indicating such concerns is selected on any questionnaire. "No" will appear if no concerns were shown by the supplier after answering all questionnaires. In all other cases, the column will remain blank
Percent Submitted: The percentage of required items submitted for approval
Percent Approved: The percentage of required items submitted for approval
Opening an APQP record
Only users that have the appropriate Program and Division authorization (where applicable) and access to at least the "View Only" APQP Role can open and make changes to a record.
Program authorization: Supplier users must have access to the Program assigned to an APQP package in order to open it. Therefore, customer users creating or editing an APQP package should take care to select a program to which supplier users are likely to have access.
Customer users may require access to either the APQP package's assigned Program, or one of the Programs assigned to the Part Number's record.
Division authorization: As a supplier, if a "From Division" is available on your company's APQP package, then supplier users will need to be aligned with the division in order to open a package. Access to the record's "To Division" is not required.
Customer users may require access to the APQP package's assigned To Division, and/or to one of the Divisions assigned to the Part Number's record. Therefore, supplier users creating or editing an APQP package should take care to select an appropriate To Division, normally one that corresponds with the purchase order.
