| # Data set-up for Conformance Reporting Conformance reporting for an item at the supplier premises is required: If an item’s compliance to standards cannot be verified by the receiving business partner or if equipment, significant gauge, test equipment correlation problems exists. If the shipped items are assemblies comprising of component parts that cannot be verified except when unassembled. If outsourcing/Improved scheduling of parts can be realized. If source inspection is part of a supplier audit procedure (e.g. First Article Inspection) Conformance reporting is applicable only for the order type purchase. When a purchase order line is created and if the item requires a source inspection or a third party inspection for business reasons mentioned above, the same must be conveyed to the supplier. Master data setup To implement conformance reporting, the following data must be set up: Step 1. In the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session, check that the Quality Management checkbox is selected Step 2. In the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session, specify the default option set. Infor LN defaults this value in the Conformance Documents (qmptc0191m000) session. Step 3. In the Testing Combinations (qmptc0111m000) session, for an item or a quality group, select the conformance reporting check box. If this check box is selected, specifying the Standard test procedure is not mandatory. Inspection order is created only for conformance reporting. If the standard test procedure is also specified, Infor LN creates separate inspection orders for conformance reporting and for the test procedures. Step 4. In the Conformance Document Types (qmptc0190m000) session, specify a conformance document type. The document type allows you to identify a conformance document. Step 5. In the Conformance Documents (qmptc0191m000) session, create a conformance document. The document code refers to the item characteristic defined in the Characteristics (qmptc0101m000) session. Note In the Conformance Document Sets (qmptc0192m000) session, you can link multiple documents to a document set. Step 6. In the Conformance Reporting (qmptc0194m000) session, create a conformance reporting code. Infor LN refers to this code when the purchase order and the purchase contract are processed. You can link this code with the conformance document or a conformance document set. If a third party business partner should certify the document, the BP must be specified in this session. You can specify the conformance code in the Conformance reporting field in the First Article Inspection Rules (qmptc0116m100)/ Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000)/ Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) sessions. |
