PPAP Due Dates

Do not wait until the due date to submit the PPAP, submit the PPAP as soon as it is completed
The due date of the PPAP depends on a few factors
If the PPAP is tied to a tooling PO, the tooling due date is the PPAP due date
- You can check this by checking the PPAP request and looking to see if there is a tooling PO assigned
- A source of RRRC will mean the PPAP is tied to tooling
  - To adjust these due dates, you will need to use the tooling dashboard
PPAPs with a source of Corporate or Resource the due date will be tied to the changeover or pre series date.
- Corporate or Resource PPAPs can have a tooling PO, verify if they have one before taking further steps to attempt to change the date.
Non tooling corporate or resource PPAPs will have a due date that is set 4 weeks prior to the changeover or pre series date, whichever is soonest.
- DTNA launch and change management controls these dates
PPAPs with a QE or PPCN listed as the source, the due dates are set by the DTNA QE.
- These PPAPs are usually created for a specific reason most commonly from a PPCN that has been submitted.
- The due date will be set to the date that is listed on the PPCN form
  - If the change is taking longer than anticipated, you will need to contact your QE by sending a comment in the PPAP system.
