Overview

When the PPWR module is active, you land in the PPWR Cockpit (“Packaging conformity at a glance”) after login. It condenses the state of your entire packaging portfolio into one concrete next action, a progress rail, and a prioritized task list — you don’t have to review every packaging unit yourself.

​
What you see in the cockpit

​
Main action

At the top the cockpit shows the currently most important action (“Next step”). Priority follows a “pull from the right” principle: whatever is closest to a finished Declaration of Conformity wins. Depending on your portfolio that is, for example:
  • Issue Declarations of Conformity — finish units that meet the Art. 5 requirements in one step.
  • Collect Declarations of Conformity — for importer/distributor units, upload or adopt the manufacturer’s declaration.
  • Review proposals — review and adopt component data proposed by the AI.
  • Request component data — request missing data from suppliers.
With an empty portfolio the main action reads “Set up your first packaging unit”; once all units are conform, the cockpit reports “All packaging units are conform”. Two metrics accompany the main action: DoC coverage (share of units with an issued Declaration of Conformity) and the number of open units.

​
Phase rail

Below it, a three-step phase rail runs across the generate pipeline:
  1. Capture — component data present
  2. Review — open AI proposals reviewed
  3. Declaration — declaration issued
Each phase shows its progress (done/total) and its status (Done, In progress or Upcoming). If a phase contains open units, it is clickable and opens the packaging-units list filtered to that stage.
Units on the collect track (importer/distributor) run in parallel and do not count in the denominator of the generate pipeline — the phase rail measures the manufacturer’s path (capture → review → issue).

​
Task list

The “What needs doing” section lists every still-open stage with a count and a matching action:
TaskAction
Ready for the Declaration of ConformityIssue
Awaiting supplier DoCCollect
Awaiting AI reviewReview
Missing component dataRequest
Each row leads straight into the correspondingly filtered packaging-units list, where the matching bulk action is available. If nothing is open, the section shows a start or completion note.

​
Regulatory tasks

If any units are marked as producer (EPR), the “Regulatory tasks” section appears with two tiles: EPR registration (open Member States) and Volume report (year not yet generated). The section is only shown when there is actually an open regulatory action.

​
Compliance funnel

At the foot of the cockpit, the compliance funnel partitions your entire portfolio into six stages. The stages sum to the total number of units; every tile is clickable and opens the list filtered exactly that way.
StageMeaning
Missing dataManufacturer unit whose components still need data.
Collect DoCImporter/distributor unit — the manufacturer’s declaration must be collected.
Pending AI reviewOpen AI proposals for component data exist.
Ready for DoCThe Art. 5 requirements are met — the declaration can be issued.
DoC in verificationA collected declaration is awaiting its Annex VIII verification.
DoC issuedTerminal — an active, verified Declaration of Conformity exists.
Below the funnel, when applicable, the note “of which without a test report” appears — conform units evidenced only by a supplier declaration (no test report). The note is purely informational.
1

Start with the main action

It reflects the biggest lever — the units that are closest to a Declaration of Conformity.
2

Work through the task list

Process the prioritized tasks in order; each opens the matching filtered list with its bulk action.
3

Use the funnel to diagnose

If a stage is unexpectedly high, open the tile and inspect the affected units.
