Workflows & examples
1. Incoming inspection at goods receipt
- Goods arrive and a Goods Receipt (GRN) is created in Inventory.
- Run an incoming inspection in Quality → Inspections, linked to the GRN and supplier.
- Enter results and confirm via the two-step submit.
- A pass accepts stock into on-hand; a fail raises an NCR and can trigger a vendor return.
2. Handling a failed in-process check
- A work order runs an in-process inspection against its template.
- The inspection fails — an NCR is auto-raised with defect and severity.
- Quality investigates root cause and sets a disposition (rework/scrap).
- Corrective actions are verified and the NCR is closed.
3. Supplier quality escalation
- Repeated incoming failures accumulate against a supplier.
- Reports shows the supplier’s declining pass rate.
- A supplier-quality NCR is escalated to procurement.
- Procurement acts — corrective plan, vendor return, or resourcing.
