Note: This feature requires the Material Request & Approval module licensed at your site.
A PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) value is an item of protective equipment, such as a face-mask, apron, body suit, and so on. The performer of a Personal Protective Equipment task selects one or more of these items, typically to identify the items of equipment recommended or required for the safe handling of a requested product. Each PPE value belongs to a PPE category, such as Eye Protection, Hand Protection, or Respiratory Protection (see Administration: PPE Categories).
Use the administrative PPE Values page to view and manage the PPE values defined in your system. Each value defined here becomes available for selection in Personal Protective Equipment tasks (see MRAP Task Type: Personal Protective Equipment).
Note: If you are a local site user, whether you see Corporate-defined PPE values on this page depends on your site's Include Corporate Values setting for its Material Request & Approval module configuration (see Site Settings):
● Setting selected: Corporate-created PPE values are visible and available for operations at your local site.
● Setting cleared: Corporate-created PPE values are neither visible nor available. Your site must create its own local items to support its operations.
To view the PPE values available at your site:
Starting at the Application Administration page (How do I get there?), do the following:
1. In the menu on the left, under MATERIAL REQUEST, click PPE Values.
The administrative PPE Values page opens, showing all PPE values available at your site. The properties of each value are shown in the following columns:
● Scope: The origin of each PPE value, indicated by one of the following icons:
Value was created at Corporate. It is available for operations at any site using Corporate values (see note for local site users above), but can be edited or deleted by a Corporate user only.
Value was created at your local site. It is available for operations at your site only, and can be edited and deleted by a local site user only.
● Value Name: The identifying name or code of each value.
● Category: The PPE category to which each value belongs.
2. Optional: To view the comments attached to each PPE value, select the Show Comments check box in the lower right.
Each value's attached comments are added to the display. To remove them from the display, clear the Show Comments check box.
If you have permission to manage PPE values, see the following topics for details:
● Creating a PPE Value: Create a value to represent a new item of personal protective equipment.
● Editing a PPE Value: Change the name, category, and/or comments of any existing PPE value that was created at your site.
● Deleting a PPE Value: Permanently remove an obsolete or otherwise unwanted PPE value.
