Meeting Minutes

• Antitrust was agreed.

• Meeting Minutes were accepted from previous meeting.

• Webinar for 2020R2

  • Slides were created by Project Coordinator (Charley) and were similar to those in QA.

  • Went over the changes to the BMS and Code list, nothing specific to the schemas because they are the same changes as the BMS.

  • Webinar is 30 minutes, normally on a Tuesday at 9 Pacific time.

  • The Architecture Committee Chair normally presents

    • It was discussed if anyone else would like the opportunity to speak at the webinar that they could.

    • Requested that Charley come and present the webinar.

    • Paulette offered to present the webinar.

    • It was decided that the Chair would continue to do the presentation.

  • Proposal was made to let committee(s) with change request that impacted the BMS or brand new code list to talk about the changes and how it impacts their industry.

    • The committee members agreed this was a good idea.

  • After the Chair completes the presentation, the Project Coordinator will go over any questions that came up during the webinar and ask for questions and thank everyone for attending.

• ROE VS PAL

  • ROE is the new standard that Recycled Parts and Inventory would like everyone to start using. PAL should be changed back to its original discription.

    • Two Jiras were created for this work to be done in the 2021R1 Release

      • R121-1 is to add ROE to Rate Type code list and Total Type Code list

      • R121-2 is to change PAL description back to the original description. It also has the history of PAL description changes. However, the changes were not logged in the code list, so the ‘Why’ it was changed is not clear.

        • PAL was added to Part Type, Rate Type and Total Type with a description of Parts - Like Kind & Quality (LKQ).
          In release 4.0 (2009R2) Part Type only was changed to Parts - Recycled.

          In release 5.0 (2014R2) Part Type description was changed to Parts - Recycled OE.

          In release 5.6 (2017R2) it was changed to Parts Recycled OEM.

          It should be changed back to its original description and ROE be used as the Standard for OEM recycled parts.

  • There are many codes that have only been added to Part Type and does not follow the standard in adding them to all 3 code list.

    • We need to run a query and add all missing types to the list to keep the standard of all 3 of these list being in sync.

    • We can tell that these codes are not being used when they are added because they are not in sync.

  • The descriptions should be consistent and follow a standard.

    • If a new description is needed, we should add a new code.

  • It was agreed that the changes to PAL description could be moved back to the original description because it should have never been changed and would meet EMS standards.

Action Items

•  Add a new standard to the Architecture guidelines that a best practice is if a Code List Value needs a description change, then it should get a new code list value.
•  create a new Jira to identify all of the Part Types, Rate Types and Total Types that are not in sync. https://cieca.atlassian.net/browse/BMS-101
