The QAD Quality Control module provides functions to manage quality specifications and quality records for both inventory and work-in-process (WIP) materials. It integrates the quality control specifications defined on test specifications together with other non-test specifications defined using attribute profiles. The disposition of completion of quality control records is integrated with inventory (lot and sublot attribute) records.

You can conduct tests and record test results for material received from suppliers, received from production material, for on-hand inventory, and for quantities for a production order operation. For those tests, you can record either simple pass/fail data or you can record attributes values, to determine whether values are conforming or not conforming to their specifications.

Quality control functions work with item attributes to support the flow of information from test records, through quality order records, to item lot and sublot records. This integration provides visibility of quality data and ensures the compliance of materials to specifications when managing materials.
