Engineering Tag

Enter a number that identifies the initial production part (IPP) tag being returned on an advance ship notice (ASN). Companies typically use the IPP tag to indicate that a new part is being shipped because of an engineering change, a new supplier, and so on. The tag number is generated outside the supplier's system and input for the ASN preferably through scanning. The supplier associates the IPP tag with the serial number for a specific carton and attaches the tag to the first shipment of changed parts.
