PPAP Deliverables: Create from Import

When creating a PPAP Deliverable (PPAPD) record, you can choose to create from blank or create from import.  This article covers the option to create by importing from Excel.  PPAPD records are defined as a set of PFD-PFMEA-CP with their data linked between similar columns.

To learn more about using the import function on this page and to view resolutions to common errors, please visit this article: PPAP Deliverables: Import from Excel.

PPAPD records can be created by clicking the "Create Deliverables" button found by navigating to Quality Management >> PFD-PFMEA-Control Plan.

You'll be directed to the create page.  Select the option "Import".  The page can be toggled between the New and Import options without data loss (except for attached Excel files).

Enter all relevant information into the fields displayed.  Required fields are indicated by a bolded header.  If an option is not available to you it will be unselectable.  Please contact your Net-Inspect admin if you have questions.

Once all required fields are entered and an excel file is selected, the "Create" button will appear.  If the system detects any errors, it will display them rather than proceeding to the create page.  Multiple files cannot be uploaded.

Customer Info

Customer Name
If your company has an active PPAP Deliverables subscription, your organization's name will pre-populate this field.  Otherwise, to select your organization you will need to contact [e-mail] to learn more. 

Enter your customer's name if the deliverables are designed/manufactured for them.  This may be changeable once the record is created depending on part record controls.  If a customer does not have an active PPAP Deliverables subscription, you will not be able to proceed with creation.

Customers can never access these records unless a specific deliverable is attached to an item inside an APQP/PPAP Package.  Learn more about this process in this article. 

To Division

Division within the Customer, usually corresponding with a facility or location. This field will only appear if the customer has configured divisions in their Net-Inspect account.  The part number may need to be validated against the new Customer's part list.  It may be necessary to enter a Part Number before selecting a To Division.  Changing the customer will potentially change the fields "To Division" and "Program" and their requirement settings.  

When the customer company is the same as the "Organization Company", the selected division may need to match the internal company's part record in order for users to open the record. A user may only be able to select divisions that are aligned with their User ID and with the part record. Note: If the part record does not yet exist, then all options in the "To Division" field may be greyed out and unselectable.  Contact a site administrator for assistance with configuring the part record if this occurs.

Part Info

Part Number
Number corresponding with the part, often designated by the customer or OEM.

If your selected customer has enabled the "Part-Level Security" preference, then the entered Part Number must match a part record already set up by that customer. If no such record exists, then the Customer must create it before you can proceed.

If your company or the selected customer has enabled the "Part-Level Security" preference, then the Part Number that you enter must currently be active. If the part record has been removed (through the "Part & Feature Setup" page on the Quality Management menu), then you will receive an error upon attempting to create the PPAPD Record. If the part was removed in error, then you may need to contact the customer for assistance with activating it again.

Part Name
