2. Customer name is checked when importing AX PBC XLS file (Note – customer name in SIMphony and AX don’t always match so some manipulation may be required)
3. AX Perso Code, AX proof code and KCON however are controlled versus customer.
4. The tool will block entry creation if CARD TYPE is not compatible between BAP and BAT
5. The tool will raise a warning (not blocking) if Scratch Label and Form Factor don’t match between BAP and BAT
6. The KCON is mandatory for all the Production Center except for Process Type IATF based Request.
7. If KCON is not available for other sites in case of IATF as well, then Packing Model fields are mandatory.
