Conformance reporting

Infor LN 10.4

Before shipment of an item, it may be required for a supplier or an approved third party to perform a source inspection on the item.

Inspecting items before shipment can be useful if:

  • An item’s compliance to standards cannot be verified by the receiving business partner
  • The shipped items are assemblies comprised of component parts that cannot be verified except when unassembled
  • Outsourcing/improved scheduling of parts is applicable
  • Source inspection is part of a supplier audit procedure, such as First Article Inspection

To indicate that item inspection before shipment is required, conformance reporting is introduced. A purchase order can now include a conformance reporting code, which indicates that the item on the purchase order requires a conformance document check at source inspection.

The conformance document check can be performed in Quality or in Warehousing. A document can be processed after inspection only if it is accepted.

You must set up conformance reporting in Quality. For more information, refer to Product Testing and Control.
