Inspections for sales item

If you implement the Quality functionality for sales in the Sales module, Infor LN creates inspection orders for each shipment. These inspection orders specify the tests for the items to be sold.

Parameters to set up inspection data

Use the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session to define the parameters for the quality inspection. In this session:

  • Select the Sales (SLS) check box in the QM Implementation group box.
  • Select the Sales (SLS) check box in the Specific Inspection group box to use order-specific inspection data for Infor LN Sales. If this check box is selected, Infor LN does not modify the order-specific inspection data even if the master data of the related sales order is modified.
  • Select the Sales (SLS) check box in the QM Only Recommends group box, the Infor LN allows you to overwrite the recommended inspection results.
To initiate inspection order from the sales
Step 1. Create the sales order

Sales orders can be created in the Sales Order - Lines (tdsls4100m900) session:

  • Automatically, from a various sources, such as Contracts, Quotations, EDI, and so on.
  • Copied from an existing order in the Copy Sales Order (tdsls4201s000) session.
  • Manually
Step 2. Approve the sales order

Approve the order using the approve option in the Sales Order - Lines (tdsls4100m900) session. Sales order approval is a mandatory step in the sales order procedure. The execution of the order procedure activities is initiated when a user approves the order.

Step 3. Release the sales order to warehouse

Release the sales order to Warehousing in the Release Sales Orders to Warehousing (tdsls4246m000) session.

Step 4. Generate outbound advice

Generate outbound advice for the goods that you want to issue from the warehouse using the Generate Outbound Advice (whinh4201m000) session, select the order lines that lists the goods that you want to issue and click Advise. Alternatively, you can generate outbound advice for individual outbound order lines using the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session or the Outbound Line Status Overview (whinh2129m000) session.

Step 5. Release outbound advice

Release the outbound advice After the outbound advice is generated to indicate that the goods are ready for inspection, if the warehousing procedure includes inspections.

After the outbound advice is released, the related outbound order lines and handling units obtain must be inspected.

If outbound inspections are included in the outbound warehousing procedure defined for the outbound order lines, the items requires outbound inspections.

Step 6. Review generated inspection order

Review the standard inspection order generated in the Orders Inspections (qmptc1120m000) session. The inspection order can be maintained in this session only until inspection is processed.

Step 7. Maintain inspection order lines

Maintain inspection order lines using the Inspection Order - Lines (qmptc1101m000) session. For each combination of an aspect and a characteristic, an inspection line is defined. The data related to the characteristics can be changed for a specific inspection order.

Step 8. Review samples

Review different samples with different sample sizes and different dates and times for the inspection order using the Inspection Order - Samples (qmptc1110m000) session. Infor LN checks if the total of all the samples matches the sample size.

Step 9. Enter test data

Enter the test data in the Sample - Test Data by Characteristic (qmptc1115m000) session (by characteristic) or the Sample - Test Data by Serial Number (qmptc1116m000) session (by serial number). The session in which you enter the test data depends on the settings in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session. Infor LN generates the overall results defined for that specific characteristic.

Step 10. Complete order inspection

You can complete the inspection process by order, origin, or storage in the Complete/Process Inspection Orders (qmptc1202m000) session. After the inspection order is set to completed, Infor LN checks if all the test data is defined. If not, the inspection order cannot be completed.

Infor LN allows you to complete the inspection process of the order only after the test data is defined.

Step 11. Process order inspection

Process the inspection orders by inspection order, by origin, and by storage inspection.

Step 12. Approve or reject the sales item

Infor LN determines the good and the bad pieces in the sample size. Based on this evaluation, Infor LN calculates the actual accepted and rejected quantities. These accepted and rejected quantities are compared with the acceptable quality level (AQL) entered in the Test Groups (qmptc0136m000) details session. If the percentage of accepted quantity is less than the AQL, the entire order or lot is rejected. In case of continuous sampling, the part of the order displayed in the Frequency field is rejected.

The inspection results are reported in the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session. You can use the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session to approve, reject, or destroy goods.

Step 13. Review the actual inspection results

Review the actual inspection results using the Orders Inspections (qmptc1120m000) session. The recommended quantities displayed in the Recommended Quantity Accepted (Accepted Quantities) field and the Recommended Quantity Rejected (Rejected Quantities) field will be stored after the inspection order has been processed.

Step 14. Close the inspection order

Close the inspection order using the Order Inspections (qmptc1120m000) session. Select the origin order which must be closed. Using specific menu close the inspection order. Infor LN sets the status to processed.
