Field map

Area Rev C prep impact
Field 14 Full/Partial FAI reason is required for the chosen FAI path.
Fields 15-18 Assembly-related BOM parts need clearer detail, sub-assembly, standard catalog, or COTS context when applicable.
Field 19 Nonconformance status is explicit: does the FAIR contain documented nonconformances?
Fields 20-23 Verification and approval names/dates need clean role separation.
FAIR Identifier Use a durable identifier that can be traced through exports and customer portals.

Migration checklist

  1. Replace old Field 14 partial-only wording with full/partial reason language.
  2. Review assembly FAIR templates for BOM detail rows in Fields 15-18.
  3. Update validation checks around nonconformance presence and approval roles.
  4. Train reviewers not to approve a Rev C FAIR until Forms 1-3 and evidence agree.
  5. If a customer portal still displays older labels, keep your internal data mapped to the Rev C intent.
