FAIR Form 1

This form is used to identify and provide traceability to the product.



FAIR #: Automatically generated report number corresponding with the FAI.
Print: Download or create a printout of the FAIR and its uploaded PDF documents.
Copy FAIR: Create a copy or follow-up to the FAIR. This generates a new First Article Inspection Report containing some or all of the data on the original FAIR.
Void FAIR: Cancel the FAIR. This removes the Customer's access to the FAIR and prevents it from being edited or submitted. If the FAIR has been submitted, then this option is not available.
Deltas: Show a list of the Parent or Delta FAIRs related to the current FAIR.
Reset: Reopen the FAIR, or send a request to an administrator or customer to reopen the FAIR. This option is only available after a FAIR has been submitted. Upon being reset, the FAIR's checklist (if present) is unsigned, and the following fields are cleared:

• Signature and Date (Forms 1, 2, and 3)
• Reviewed by and Date
• Customer Approval and Date
• Customer

Save: Save changes made to the FAIR. Unavailable after Form 1 has been signed.
Sign: Lock FAIR, sign Field 20, and complete Field 21. If Form 2 and/or 3 have not yet been signed, then these forms will also be signed. If the form has been signed but the FAIR has not yet been submitted, then an Unlock button will appear in its place.
Submit: Close and submit FAIR, sign Field 22, and complete Field 23. 
Return to List: Return to your company's list of internal or supplier FAIRs. Filters applied to the list before opening a FAIR are retained and will be applied again upon clicking this button.



1. Part Number (R)
Number of the part.

If your selected customer has enabled the “Part-Level Security” preference, then the Part Number that you enter 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 FAIR. If the part was removed in error, then you may need to contact the customer for assistance with activating it again.

Fields 15-18 refer to any other parts or FAIRs that relate to the FAI being completed. Their primary use is to provide information about the sub-assembly and detail parts that constitute an assembly First Article.

When a new row is added, it initially appears at the top of the "Part Number Index" section. When the form is opened again later by the FAIR's supplier or customer, parts added to the section will be automatically rearranged into the order in which each row was added.

Clicking a row will enable you to edit any of its fields.

15. Part Number (CR)
Number of the part.

If the value entered in this field matches the Part Number (Field 1) on a FAIR previously completed in your account or submitted to your account by a supplier, then you will have the option of selecting it and automatically complete the corresponding Part Name (Field 16), Supplier, and FAIR Number (Field 18) fields.
