Re-testing Material

Re-testing QC is used to apply an additional set of QC results against a lot that was purchased or produced. This will usually happen when there is a lot that has failed its QC testing and has been re-worked in some manner.

Note: Beginning in version 17.02.011, the Inventory > Options field "Require New QC Results After Move To QC Pending", along with the "Quality control -- edit qc results prior to move to qc pending" are optional features that may be leveraged to manage additional QC tests.

Configuration

Quality Control Tests - These specifically define the tests that will be conducted against a lot of material. Maintained in Inventory > Maintenance > Quality Control Tests.

Quality Control Groups - Groups a set of tests together. This will then be applied to specific items. Maintained in Inventory > Maintenance > Quality Control Groups.

Item Master - Materials that will have QC tests applied upon receipt of a Purchase Order will have the Group assigned to that Part’s Item Master record.

Bills Of Material - Materials that will have QC tests applied upon inputting production on a Job will have the Group assigned to that Part’s BOM record.
