Upload and follow up approval of technical documentation
For Type Approval, MED and Case by Case product certification/verification projects you have the possibility to submit technical documentation for approval.
Connected to the approval a new online communication, between customer and approval engineer, for replying approval was introduced.
With order confirmation, you are now able to follow up the approval comments, access the approval letters and stamped drawing. Historical approval letters issued for jobs created in "Upload technical documents" will also be available under Deliverables – Product Certification and Verification – Approval Letters.
You may upload the cover letter or upload technical documentation either by moving the files with drag & drop into the respective fields or alternatively use the link 'browse' and select the files from the explorer window.
Depending of the file size and your internet speed it takes a bit time until the upload is finished. You will see that the file name is used as document title.
The title can of course be modified. In addition, you should register the drawing (or document) No. and if applicable also the revision.
For larger number of documents, you can use the Excel template to avoid filling in 'Drawing no. and rev.' manually if you have the possibility to export such information from your production system.
