Quality Control for Work-In-Process Production
Quality Records for WIP Operations
In WIP operations, quality is documented using test records that are directly linked to work order and CUM order operations. The creation of records for work-in-process operations triggers at different circumstances, depending on the type of order.
Work Orders. When a work order does not have an attached WIP lot trace, the system creates test records for it automatically. These test records are linked to the item at one of the work order’s routing operations. If a WIP lot trace exists, these records instead generate at the point of a work order backflush.

WO Operations and Test Records
CUM Orders. CUM orders create test records at the time of the repetitive backflush.

Process Flow for Repetitive Operations
Orders Using WIP Lot Trace. Orders using the WIP Lot Trace function create test records during both work order backflushes and repetitive backflushes.
