Create File for Material Declaration Request
Create File for Material Declaration RequestA Material Declaration request to a supplier is accompanied by Tab-Delimited text file (*.txt) which pre-populates data in the Material Content Declaration / Compliance Connect form.
The Tab-Delimited text file for the Material Declaration request is created for a particular supplier.
Tab-Delimited text files for multiple part suppliers may be generated at once.
The text file may be created for a single part or for a parent part and all child (descendent) parts.
Tab delimited file includes Supplier, Part, and Manufacturer Equivalent Part (MEP) details, and up to date lists of Restricted, Reportable, and Standard Materials for pre-population in the Compliance Connect form for Material Declarations.
The file is created from the context of the Enterprise Part -- the Lexmark ENOVIA part to which each supplier's MEP is associated.
To create Tab-Delimited text files (*.txt) to send to suppliers with a Material Declaration request and pre-populate data in the Compliance Connect form:
Compliance Engineer or Compliance Administrator role in ENOVIA is required to see the Compliance menu and access these functions.
