Quality Control / Quality Test [QUC020]
The Quality Control (QC) module is a DATASCOPE WMS module that Food, Chemical, and Pharmaceutical Distribution Centers typically use. All stock codes set as “Inspection Required” in SYSPRO can be controlled in this module, both during a Purchase Receipt and Job Receipt stages. Each stock code can be flagged with multiple quality tests. Expected results are entered, and tests pass or fail against these criteria.
This User Guide will focus on how to use the Quality Control module out of the box.
Quality test results will be created when inspectable Stock Codes are received via the Receipt Purchase Order or Job Receipt modules and tests have been set up correctly. The Quality Test module will check if there are any tests for those Stock Codes and create a Test Result record that has a unique Test Result Number. A Test Result sheet will also be printed to complete the test.
