Inspections for purchased itemsWhen you use the inspection functionality to purchase items, Infor LN creates inspection order for each receipt. You can use inspection orders to define the data for testing the quality of the items purchased. Parameters to set up inspection data Use the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session to define the parameters for the quality inspection. In this session:
To initiate inspection order from the
procurement Step 1. Create a purchase order Purchase orders can be created in the Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4100m900) session:
Step 2. Approve purchase order Approve the order using the approve option in the Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4100m900) session. Purchase order approval is a mandatory step in the purchase order procedure. The execution of the order procedure activities starts when a user approves the order. Step 3. Release purchase order to warehouse Release the purchase order to Warehousing in the Release Purchase Orders to Warehousing (tdpur4246m000) session. Step 4. Maintain receipts Enter the receipt data in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session. Step 5. Confirm receipts Confirm receipts using the Confirm option in the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session. 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 the 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 each inspection order using the Inspection Order Samples (qmptc1110m000) session. Infor LN checks if the total of all samples matches the sample size. Step 9. Enter test data Enter the test data in the Inspection Order Test Data (qmptc1115m000) session (by characteristic) or the Sample - Test Data by Serial Number (qmptc1116m000) session (by serial number). The session in which you must enter the test data depends on the settings in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session. Infor LN generates the results for that specific characteristic. Step 10. Complete order inspections Complete the inspection process by order, origin, or storage using the Complete/Process Order Inspections (qmptc1202m000) session. After the inspection order is set to completed, LN checks if all the test data is defined. If not, the inspection order cannot be completed. 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 using the Process Inspection Orders (qmptc1204m000) session. Step 12. Approve or reject the purchase items Evaluate the good and the bad pieces in the sample size. Based on this evaluation, LN calculates the actual accepted and rejected quantities. These accepted and rejected quantities are compared with the acceptable quality level (AQL) specified 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 displayed in the Warehouse Inspections Overview (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 is 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. From specific menu close the inspection order. LN sets the status to processed.
