From request to approval: Improve material data quality and supplier collaboration
Supplier material data can arrive in the right file format and still be hard to trust, review or reuse.
Watch this on-demand webinar to see how OEMs can use structured requests, predefined templates, supplier-friendly Excel deliveries, validation rules and delivery review reports to improve data quality from request to approval.
You’ll see a practical ShareAspace demonstration showing how to request material data from suppliers, validate submissions before import, review changes and create a trusted information base for downstream use.
What you’ll get:
Practical demo, standards context, supplier workflow, validation approach and key takeaways.
Why watch?
When supplier material data is exchanged through disconnected files and manual review, problems are often found too late.
The file may be technically valid, but the data may still be missing the context needed for downstream use: configuration, lifecycle state, applicability, responsibility, compliance meaning or approval status.
That creates:
- More manual checking
- More supplier back-and-forth
- Slower approval decisions
- Less confidence in downstream data
- Higher risk when data is reused in reporting, compliance, engineering or lifecycle systems
This webinar shows how to move from file exchange to validated, reusable supplier information.
What you’ll see in the replay
The webinar includes a practical OEM-supplier scenario in ShareAspace.
You’ll see how to:
- Issue structured material data requests to suppliers
- Use predefined templates for each delivery section
- Give suppliers clear Excel-based submission formats
- Validate delivered files against OEM-defined requirements
- Stop incorrect data before it enters the shared environment
- Review large numbers of delivered attributes more efficiently
- Identify what changed between supplier submissions
- Approve, comment or request corrections
- Build a validated information base for reporting, integration and downstream reuse
