Scope
The Product Data eXchange 1.0 standard defines an XML encoding scheme that enables a total product definition to be described at a level appropriate to facilitate supply chain interactions. The scheme is defined for bill of materials (BOM)@ approved manufacturer list (AML)@ changes (Engineering@ Manufacturing@ Product) and references to documents describing geometric and other definition characteristics. IPC 2571 is the umbrella specification for other IPC 2570-series specifications. It describes the Package element that is required for every Product Data eXchange implementation@ as well as other common elements shared across the 2570 series. The sectional standards provide application exchange capability. IPC 2576@ for instance@ transfers as-built product configuration data@ and IPC 2578 defines specific product definition elements such as items@ changes@ bills of material (BOMs)@ and approved manufacturing lists (AMLs). The IPC 2570-series of standards transfer the data required to support the following business processes: Quote request Manufacturing Engineering change management (including signoff) Work in Process (not started) Report on Quality (in development) Report on as-built product configuration
