How do I delete my signature on an item submission?

You submitted an item (element, phase, event, etc.) within an APQP/PPAP package but the delete button is not visible.  Here are some reasons why and what to do:

1. The item is accepted
   • Discuss with your customer or internal team on disapproving the item
2. The item is accepted because the acceptance column states "Acceptance Signature Not Required"
   • The customer or internal approver must change this to "Acceptance Required" by clicking "Change"
   • Refresh your screen and the delete button will reappear for the submission signature on the item
3. The signature is not your own signature
   • You do not have the correct roles to delete another user's signature.  Please contact your Net-Inspect APQP Admin to find the correct person within your company
