	<GeneralSection><Paragraph>A quality ID is the link between the item that needs to be inspected and the master data that determines what is tested for an item. Using a quality ID prevents you to define or adjust the master data for each new inspection. Moreover, a quality ID enables you to use one characteristic multiple times with each time different limits.</Paragraph>

		<Paragraph>A very important session in <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm" role="package">Quality Management</GUIRef> is the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/qm/ptc/qmptc0111s000" role="session">Quality Combinations (qmptc0111s000)</GUIRef> session. In this session you link quality IDs to an origin. These quality combinations are the primary input for the creation of inspection orders and consist of three parts:</Paragraph>
		<List><ListItem>The module from which inspections originate</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The item or quality group that applies to the combination</ListItem>
			<ListItem>The quality ID that applies to the combination</ListItem>
		</List>
