	Using Sync to Transfer Data from a DFMEA to a DVP&R Sync Options for New DVP&Rs

Sync Options for Existing DVP&Rs

You can choose DVP&R > Sync > Sync with FMEA to update the DVP&R with new data transferred from the FMEA.

• Header

• • To clear all of the information on the Header tab of the DVP&R and replace it with data from the associated FMEA, select the Clear the header and replace from FMEA option.

  • To leave the data in the header as-is, select the Do not change the header option.

• Worksheet

• • To clear all of the information in the worksheet area of the DVP&R and replace it with the data from the associated FMEA, select the Clear the worksheet and replace from FMEA option.

  • To add the data from the FMEA to the end of the existing data in the DVP&R worksheet, select the Append data from FMEA to end of worksheet option.

• Transfer Controls/Actions Options

• • To transfer all eligible data (i.e., controls and actions) from the FMEA to the DVP&R, select the All Controls and All Actions options.

  • To transfer only the data that meet the desired requirements, select the Controls where Type = and/or Actions where Category = option ad then select the desired options.

  • To further limit the transfer, enter as many criteria elements as desired in the following fields:

  • • Classification transfers only the data with the selected classification. Select All if you want all data, no matter the classification, to be transferred. This includes data with no classification. Select Any if you want to transfer the record if any classification has been assigned to it. If there is no classification assigned to it, the data will not be transferred.

    • Cause RPN (Initial) >= transfers only the data with an initial cause RPN that is greater than or equal to the value that you specify in the input box.

    • Cause RPN (Revised) >= transfers only the data with a revised cause RPN that is greater than or equal to the value that you specify in the input box.

    • Cause Initial SxO >= transfers only the data with an initial cause severity x occurrence rating that is greater than or equal to the value that you specify in the input box.

    • Cause Revised SxO >= transfers only the data with a revised cause severity x occurrence rating that is greater than or equal to the value that you specify in the input box.

  • To transfer the cause description along with each control or action description, select the Cause Description with Controls and Actions check box. For example, if this check box is selected and the cause description in the FMEA is "Failure cause" and the control description is "Design control," then the transferred test plan will be "Design control : Failure cause."

• After making your selections, click OK to transfer the data from the FMEA to the DVP&R.
