Product Change Notifications (PCNs) are formal communications from Manufacturers informing customers of changes to direct materials, such as: Component modifications, Material substitutions, Manufacturing process updates, Design changes, Obsolescence notifications. Information typically included are details about the change, reasons for it, impact analysis, and implementation timelines.
PCN data are displayed in their own section under Part Intelligence, as well as in a tab inside the side panel “PCN” for an MPN.
Click on the Part Intelligence cube to the right of an MPN, which will open in a sidebar on the right. Then click on the tab PCN. You will see any PCN information that has been provided.
Clicking on the PCN document's name will take you to an IHS/Accuris link of the document. Similar to the datasheets Supplyframe offers, these links open only when accessed from within the application.
You can also view PCN information from within the Part Intelligence page for an MPN. Scroll down to the section of PCN to view any details available.
