Introduction

Welcome to the Provenant DPP Manager documentation — your guide to preparing, creating, and managing Digital Product Passports (DPPs) with accuracy and speed.

What is Provenant DPP Manager?

The Provenant DPP Manager lets you manage your entire DPP lifecycle in one place:

• Centralize and validate product data and documents.
• Generate and publish Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and QR codes.
• Manage models, batches, events, teams, and branding within a single, auditable workspace.

Who this guide is for

This guide is designed for different user roles:

Role	Purpose
Product / Operations	Create and maintain models and batches.
Sustainability / Compliance	Verify data for DPP readiness and EU compliance.
IT / Integrators	Connect Provenant with internal systems or ERPs.

How this guide is organized

• Quick start — Publish your first DPP in minutes.
• How-to guides — Step-by-step walkthroughs for common tasks.
• Reference — Definitions of all fields, roles, and permissions.
• Concepts — Background on models, batches, templates, and events.

Key concepts

Term	Description
Product	The real-world good you design, manufacture, or sell. In Provenant, each product is represented by a model (and optionally batches and items).
Model	The master product record in Provenant. Publishing a model generates the DPP and QR code that end users can access.
Batch	A group of items under a model, used for batch-level or item-level data (for example, a specific production run).
Item	An individual unit within a batch when DPP per item is enabled. Each item can receive its own QR code and lifecycle events.
DPP (Digital Product Passport)	The digital record generated from a model (and its batches, items, and events). It aggregates product, environmental, and compliance data and is accessed via QR.
Alignment tool	The built-in alignment check that shows how well a model meets defined requirements (for example, regulatory or internal). Used to identify missing or non-compliant data before publishing.
Components	Reusable sub-parts or materials (for example, fabric, buttons, zippers) that can be linked to multiple models to avoid duplicate data entry.
Event	A timestamped milestone in the product or batch journey (for example, production, certification, recycling). Events are shown on the DPP timeline.
Template	Defines the structure and fields available when creating a model (sections like General information, Performance & care, Environmental data, etc.).
Documents library	Central library where you upload and reuse evidence (such as LCAs, EPDs, certificates) across models and batches.
Suppliers	External partners providing materials, components, or processing steps. Supplier-related information can appear in components, events, and documentation to support transparency.
Compliance	The state of meeting external regulations and internal policies (for example ESPR or customer requirements). Provenant supports this through templates, the alignment tool, and DPP content.
Roles & Permissions	Fine-grained access control that defines who can view, edit, publish, or manage resources. All user actions are auditable.
