To distinguish customer reports from internal compliance analyses, Materials Compliance Management refers to a customer report as an export and an internal compliance analyses as a report. The final output of an export is typically a file that can be forwarded to the customer. For IMDS the file is automatically uploaded to the IMDS production web site where it is then sent to the customer. The top level parts selected for an export typically represent products that your company provides to a customer. In many case the customer expects product level parts to be reported with their identifying information (a customer-specific part number and revision level). The export function allows you to include this data in the export for the product level parts. Materials Compliance Management never exposes supplier information to customers in a report. If an enterprise part references an MEP equivalent that is marked as the selected equivalent, the underlying materials of the MEP are reported as if they are direct material components of the enterprise part, thus hiding any supplier-identifying information. All exports are submitted to the job queue as a background job. An export log object is created for an export job that records the details of the export operation for auditing purposes. You can search for export logs and view the properties of specific export logs found in the search. Materials Compliance Management can be configured to hide private data. If so, the reports do not include any contact information for suppliers. IPC 1752B standard has an attribute name isFSD on <HomogeneousMaterialList> XML element. If all the following conditions are fullfilled, the isFSD attribute is set to true. Otherwise this attribute is set to false.
