Pedigree

Pedigrees define categories for parts, suppliers, and inventory to support traceability, compliance, and sourcing rules. They're often used to distinguish between flight and non-flight parts or development hardware, ensuring items follow the correct controls throughout their lifecycle.

Settings

Setting	Description
Material Pedigree Allow List	Restricts which pedigrees can be associated with materials. Useful for ensuring only approved pedigrees are used for specific parts.
Supplier Pedigree Allow List	Restricts which pedigrees can be associated with suppliers. Commonly used to limit T1 work to qualified suppliers.
Require Pedigree for Inventory Items	Enforces that all inventory items (excluding non-inventory items and receivables) must have a pedigree, supporting proper tracking for regulated or serialized parts.

Enable allow lists and pedigree requirements to strengthen quality and maintain clear and consistent sourcing boundaries.

Pedigree Entries

Pedigree entries define the available categories for your organization.

• Click Create Pedigree to add a new one.

• Rename or archive pedigrees as needed; archiving removes them from new selections but preserves historical data.

• Each entry shows how many order and request items are associated.

Pedigrees cannot be deleted while they are in use. To prevent a pedigree from being selected, it can be archived.

Example Pedigrees

Pedigree	Description
T1 – Flight (or Production)	Serialized flight hardware with strict supplier and documentation requirements.
T2 – Critical Non-Flight (or Qualification)	Qualification articles or critical non-flight hardware (such as tooling) that still requires pedigree controls.
T3 – Development (or Prototype)	Prototype or R&D parts with more flexible sourcing, kept separate for traceability.
