How do I request a new Manufacturer?

New Manufacturers are not added to WPA, we continue to add them to our PLM systems.  Manufacturers will be fed to WPA when a MPN related to that new Manufacturer is approved on a notice. At that point it writes to WPA to allow the request of a Material Declaration. Below is the process to request a new Manufacturer:

• 1. Requestors should submit any requests for new Manufacturers and ePIMS ID via the link:  https://sites.google.com/a/motorola.com/newmanufacturerrequest/

  2. In most cases, it is better to obtain the GVM ID first before requesting the new Manufacturer. This saves the time and trouble of going back later to update the manufacturer with the GVM ID. The Global Vendor Master, or GVM, is maintained by Financial Shared Services (FSS) at https://sites.google.com/a/motorola.com/supplier-forms/home/us-canada?pli=1

  3. The Manufacturer administrator will setup the ePIMS ID in PDM1 and ensure that it writes back into ICCS

How does the Motorola Part Status map to the old W18 Status?

WPA utilizes the following W18 Specs:

• W18 (1) - ECOMOTO

• W18 (5) - MD

• W18 (2) - Home

• W18 (SURFACE) - MD and Home

Calculations are performed to write back our "old" W18 statuses to downstream systems. The following chart illustrates how the write back works:

ITEM_LST - Used for BOM Grading via a File

Used for BOM Grading with a file, a ITEM_LIST file is simply a text file (Note Pad or Word Pad) which lists Motorola Item Numbers one per row:

ITEM_LST_CSV - Used for BOM Grading via a File

Used for BOM Grading with a file, a ITEM_LIST_CSV file is an Excel csv file which lists Motorola Item Numbers one per row:

What specifications do we grade against in WPA?

• W18 (1) - ECOMOTO

• W18 (5) - MD

• W18 (2) - Home

• W18 (SURFACE) - MD and Home

• RoHS (CONSUMER) - MD and Home

• RoHS (INFRASTRUCTURE) - Home

• REACH (SVHC AUTHORIZATION) - MD and Home

• REACH (SVHC CANDIDATE) - MD and Home

Substance of Concern Reporting Levels

There are two types of Reporting Levels for SoC reports:

1. Flat aggregation: The application ignores the assembly structure information and only information about end parts is included in a BOM report

2. Total aggregation: The application rolls up all the material contents of subparts to BOM and the aggregated material content or SoC report is generated for BOM
