QPL Not Found
The Qualified Products Database (QPD) provides a repository for all qualified
products and sources relevant to a governing specification. During the process
of searching on specifications, parts, or sources, the search may not produce
the hoped for result. If this is the case, there are several possible reasons
for the lack of expected results and must be considered if the desired result
cannot be found.
All parts and sources are relative to a pertinent governing specification. A
specification must not be canceled and it must require qualification before a
qualifie Parts List (QPL) can exist in QPD. If the need for qualification on
a given specification is canceled or if the specification itself is canceled,
no QPL can be created. If a QPL did exist previously, it is archived and is no
longer searchable. There is also a possibility that if a specification is
active and if qualification is also required, no QPL has yet been published.
If no result is found based on a government designation search, that product may not have
been published, it may have been removed from the QPD, the specification may no
longer require qualification, or the specification may have been canceled.
Where a manufacturer designation search does not yield the expected result, these same
reasons may apply. Additionally, when unable to locate a manufacturer product, if
the source (manufacturer, distributor, or plant) does not exist, or if that
source has been removed from the QPD, no such part will be found. Consider also
that while a part designation itself may be valid, if the part does not require
qualification, that part will not be cataloged in QPD.
To determine the status of a given governing specification and if qualification
is required, check ASSIST. If the specification itself is not cataloged in
ASSIST, there will be no QPL. If the specification is canceled, the QPL is
automatically archived and removed from the realm of published data. If there
is no qualification link on the document details page in ASSIST, there is no
corresponding published QPL.
