View Items on Supplier Portal

As a supplier portal user, you can view the following side tabs on items:

  • General Information - the default or cover page of an item.

    You can view an item's revision number and the corresponding change order from the Revision list. Note that canceled item revisions don't appear in the list.

  • Attachments - text or graphic files, or URL, with more information about the item.

  • Structure - the Bill of Materials for assemblies, products, and other collections of items.

  • AML - approved manufacturers list; represents a list of manufacturers, suppliers, or vendors approved for the purpose of procuring manufactured items.

  • Changes - lists changes that the item is on.

  • Quality - problem reports, or corrective actions to which this item is added.

  • Where Used - displays those item-structures to which the item is added.

  • History – shows data changes made to audit-enabled item attributes.

Content Presence Indicators

The following content presence indicators help you quickly access item and component details:

  • A blue icon indicating the presence of content appears on the item's side tabs. Additionally, when you hover on the tab that has content, the tooltip displays Has Content.
    Note: The General Information tab icon isn't displayed in blue since it always has content.
  • Blue dot icons on structure component rows indicate the presence of pending changes and quality-related data. You can click the blue dot to navigate to the corresponding details in the side tab.
  • For quality objects, the blue dot appears if there is at least one quality issue, quality action, problem report, or corrective action in any workflow status against any item revision. Note that the object can be pending or released.

    When you click the blue dot on quality objects, only problem reports and corrective actions appear in the Quality side tab. You can only see and navigate to those objects for which you have access.
