| # Inspections for purchased items When 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: Select the Purchase (PUR) check box in the QM Implementation group box. Select the Purchase (PUR) check box in the Specific Inspection group box. If this check box is selected, Infor LN does not modify the order-specific inspection data even if the master data of the related purchase order is modified. Select the Purchase (PUR) 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 procurement Step 1. Create a purchase order Purchase orders can be created in the Purchase Order - Lines (tdpur4100m900) session: Automatically, from a various sources, such as EP, Sales, Service, and so on. Copied from an existing order in the Copy Purchase Order (tdpur4201s000) session. Manually 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 Receipts (whinh3512m000) session. Step 5. Confirm receipts Confirm receipts using the Confirm option in the Warehouse Receipts (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 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 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 Inspection Orders (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 (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.
