Use quality orders to conduct stand-alone inspections of incoming material or material already in inventory. A quality order authorizes a test or inspection and specifies how much to test, where, when, and how. After testing, enter results in Quality Order Results Entry (19.11).

The immediate effect of a quality order is to transfer material from its current inventory location to an inspection location at the same site. This is where the procedure designated on the quality order is run, and test results recorded. Quality orders link:
