About Quality Inspection
QAD Warehousing supports quality inspection with sample control, change of inventory status, and creation of warehouse transaction.
The principle of the Quality Inspection module is similar to the shortage clearance algorithms.
During a receipt, the quality algorithms are started. These determine if an inspection is required based on different criteria such as the receipt frequency, various field values at different levels, and more. For instance, an inspection takes place depending on the number of receipts from a given supplier and/or a given item, or if the previous receipt failed.
If the quality algorithm returns a sample quantity to be inspected, a transaction or movement is created from the source location to an inspection area. After inspection, either by computer or by RDT, the sample is sent back to the inventory area, using a standard put-away algorithm.
You must activate the Quality/Inspection module by setting the Active field to Yes in Quality/Inspection Control (4.19.24). If the Active field is set to No, the system displays an error when you attempt to access programs within the Quality/Inspection menu (4.19).
