The QAD Quality Control module provides functions to manage test specifications, test records, and quality orders for inventory. Test specifications are managed very much like attribute profiles, by linking item attributes with specification data to a test specification document. Quality records for inventory are captured using quality orders that contain one or more test records for the applicable test specifications. Quality records for work-in-process (WIP) materials are captured using test records for production operations.

Quality Control Components shows how quality control is integrated with item attributes and work-in-process.
