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 during the 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.

Quality test results will be created when inspectable Stock Codes are received via the Receipt Purchase Order or Job Receipt modules and tests are correctly set up. 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.

To start using the Quality Control module, you should already have done the following:

• Have a licensed version of the Quality Control module.

• All tests should be set up and configured.

• Stock Codes marked as Inspectable within SYSPRO.

• Conformance tests require the check box to be selected where the value is True (and unselected when False), and Tolerance tests require values to be inputted into the grid.

• Notice that at the top of the screen, a list of all the Categories for the applicable tests is visible. The user can select the Category to work with, and the test linked to the chosen category will be displayed in the data grid. By default, all Categories are chosen; therefore, all tests will be displayed in the data grid. The Categories will remain in red text until all tests have been completed.

• If tests have passed, then the Categories will turn green.

• Once all the Sample results have been entered, select Post.

• A validation will be performed on the entire test set, and either Pass or Fail will be displayed. The Test Categories that have been posted turn green.

• The overall results of the test will be displayed. If your tests have failed, you will be notified.

• If any tests were marked as Log and Fail when the tests were set in the Quality Test Setup screens, and the sample test fails, the entire test will fail.

• If the tests were only marked as Log, it will pass when the tests pass or fail.

• When you select OK on the Failed notification, a Test Result sheet will automatically print out with the results.

• If the system passes TrackIDs that were received, it will be marked as ACTIVE within DATASCOPE WMS. However, if they fail, it will be marked as ONHOLD, or manual action later.
