First Article Preferences

 

First Article buyoff process
The FAIR buyoff process selected here will be automatically assigned to a supplier when it is added through the Suppliers setup page.

No Buyoff - FAIRs received from suppliers do not need to be approved and are considered finished upon submission.
One-Step Buyoff - FAIRs received from suppliers need to be approved and enter "Pending Buyoff" status upon submission.
Delegated - FAIRs received from suppliers are considered to be bought off by that supplier upon submission and are labelled with the status "Delegated".

Enable over-inspect feature on Form 3 of supplier FAIRs
Enables Over-Inspect feature on FAIR Form 3. This allows users to provide comments for characteristics on suppliers' FAIRs (such as measurement comparisons). These comments are only visible to the customer.

Next FAI report number
The number shown here will be automatically set as the "FAIR Number" (Field 4) of the next FAIR generated in your account.

Customer % Tolerance Limits
A result entered on FAIR Form 3 is color-coded according to how close it is to the tolerances or specification limits defined for that characteristic. By default, they are colored as follows:

0-50% - Green
50-100% - Yellow
100% - Red

The "% of tolerance" at which a Result turns yellow can be changed by adjusting the UMI Green Limit defined here, while the % of tolerance at which a Result turns red can be changed by updating the UMI Yellow Limit. This setting applies to both FAIRs create by your company, as well as FAIRs created by your suppliers.

Additional Columns
Columns defined here will automatically appear as Additional Fields on Form 3 of FAIRs created by your suppliers.

Workflow Priority
A workflow will be automatically assigned to First Article Inspection Reports and E-Rejection Tags based on the priorities defined by this setting. For example, if both a Company and Program workflow can be assigned to a FAIR, and Program is prioritized ahead of Company according to this setting, then the Program workflow will be assigned to the FAIR.

Inspection Plan
If the "Automatically update features..." option is enabled here, then when a characteristic on a FAIR is updated, the corresponding feature on the Part Number's inspection plan will automatically receive the same updates. (A part record can be accessed through the "Part & Feature Setup" section of the Quality Management menu.)

Features that have already had measurements recorded for them (e.g., through the Record Measurements page) will not be automatically updated.
