Generate a PPA evaluation report

You can create a Product Part Approval (PPA) evaluation report that shows detailed information of a quality checklist. All the values included in the report are derived from the checklist data, responses to the checklist questions, and their corresponding rating values. The report also includes information on whether each question needs a response, if it meets all the requirements, if there are any attachments, remarks, and so on.

1. Open the required quality checklist.

2. Choose More Commands > Edit > Start Edit.

3. In the Overview tab, specify Checklist Process Type and PPA Reason.

4. Choose More Commands > Edit > Save Edits.

5. In References, add the parts that need approval.

Note If you specify the Checklist Process Type as Supplier, in the Vendor section, add the required vendor.

6. Choose More Commands > click New > Generate Report .

7. In the Generate Report panel, from Reports, select Process Quality Checklist PPA Report.

8. Specify the required properties.

9. Click Generate.The PPA evaluation report is generated. You can also send the PPA evaluation report to suppliers for review.

Note

When a question on the quality checklist remains unanswered, incomplete, or gets rejected, the PPA evaluation report indicates that the quality checklist is not ready for the customer and must be completed.

If the quality checklist does not include the vendor's name, then the customer sections in the PPA evaluation report appears blank.
