Today marked another step forward in my learning journey as I executed ECN and New Award processes for several part numbers. Despite being in the learning phase, I successfully uploaded these parts into the SAP system, facilitating the subsequent processing by the CMS team for supplier management. During this process, I encountered instances where certain manufacturer part numbers were rejected due to part number not same or with the Approved Vendor List (AVL) or mismatched SAP data. In such cases, I promptly rejected these parts back to QuoteApp for further processing by the Product Data Management (PDM) department. This iterative process ensures that issues are addressed promptly and accurately before proceeding.

Throughout these tasks, I received invaluable guidance and support from my trainee, Azlin. Her assistance proved instrumental in navigating the issues and ensuring the smooth execution of tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
Today, I advanced further in my proficiency by executing another round of ECN and New Award processes for a larger volume of parts compared to previous instances. Demonstrating adeptness, I efficiently processed parts devoid of issues, seamlessly integrating them into the SAP system. Conversely, parts requiring rejection were promptly returned to QuoteApp for further resolution.

Moreover, a new lesson unfolded today as I learned the protocol for communicating rejections to the Product Data Management (PDM) and CMS departments. Under the guidance of Azlin, I acquired the requisite skills to compose and send emails detailing the rejected parts and associated issues. This entailed precisely identifying recipients and utilizing proper email etiquette, ensuring effective communication and clarity of information.
