| # Using QM for manufacturing operations Quality control of operations If you use Quality Management for operations in the Shop Floor Control module, ERP LN creates inspection orders for each operation. These inspection orders specify the tests for the subassemblies produced. You can choose between four methods which determine the interactions between the Shop Floor Control module and Quality Management with respect to the routing operations: The subassemblies are inspected, but the operations are in no way affected by the inspection orders (method A). You must inspect the subassemblies, before you can report an operation completed. However, you are free to report any quantity completed or rejected, regardless of the results of the tests (method B). You must inspect the subassemblies, before you can report quantities completed or rejected. The inspections result in recommendations for the quantities completed and rejected (method C). You must inspect the subassemblies, before you can report quantities completed or rejected. The results of the inspections determine the quantity completed and rejected. You cannot modify these quantities (method D). Consequences for reporting completed The chosen method determines the use of the following fields in the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session: Quantity Completed Rejected Quantity To Inspect You must enter the data in the Quantity Completed field and the Rejected field, except when you chose method C or D (as mentioned before). If the subassemblies must be inspected before reporting quantities complete or rejected (method C and D), the following happens: The Quantity Completed field and the Rejected field are blocked. You can enter the data in the Quantity To Inspect field. Quality Management adds the results of the inspections to the Quantity Completed field and Rejected field, when it processes the inspection order. If you apply method C, you can still modify the Quantity Completed field and Rejected field, after you close the inspection order. Note If you chose method A, and you try to change the quantities completed or rejected, after you closed the inspection order, ERP LN will ask you if the inspection order must be reopened. If you chose method B, C, or D, and you try to change the quantities completed or rejected, after you closed the inspection order, ERP LN will generate a new inspection order.
