Operation

Enter data in the data entry boxes to restrict the range of parts. Records must meet all criteria entered to be selected. If the left and/or right data entry boxes are left blank for a particular criteria, parts will be selected between the first and/or last otherwise qualifying part record. Data entry boxes can be populated by finding a single item using Keyword Search, drag and drop from the Parts ScratchPad, or by double-clicking a list item from the Keyword Result window.

Data records can be obtained using one of the following methods or a combination of them (see Tip below):

Enter values into the selection ranges and use the Standard Search. The context menu provides a Clear Selection function.
Define or use a Custom Search.
Create an Ad Hoc Search Calculation using the context menu function.
Drag-and-drop one or more lines from the Parts ScratchPad (or BoM and Where-Used Listing) onto the general window area.
Use the ScratchPad Transfer Selected function
Use the KeyWord Search Transfer Selected function

TIP: Using an Ad Hoc Search Calculation (3) overrides any Custom Search (2) and a Custom Search overrides the Standard Search (1). In any of the search cases (1, 2 or 3), ScratchPad Transfer and Drag-and-Drop or KeyWord Search Transfer (4, 5 or 6) is combinational, so that records found using any of these methods must also conform to the search criteria adopted.

Field	Description
From and To	Enter data that restricts the records selected. If left blank, data will be selected from the maximum and minimum extremes in the file. All selections criteria you enter will have to be met by each record processed.
Use custom	To turn on and off the use of the custom search design. A custom search will override the standard search.
Custom search name	The name of the currently selected custom search. To use it click on the checkbox. To change it click on the Custom Search button.

Button	Action
Custom Search	Opens the Custom Search Selection window and checks the Use custom checkbox.

Quality Assurance: Part Quality Assurance Regime Maintenance

Part Quality Assurance Regime Maintenance

Reference Contents > Quality Assurance > Part Quality Assurance Regime Maintenance

Within this window you can maintain the Quality Test Regime for a part. You can also copy a regime to any number of other parts using drag and drop from the Parts ScratchPad.

A regime consists of one or more tests that need to be pre-defined in the Masters — Quality Assurance — Scrap and Test Codes function. These tests have a 4 character code and a brief description.

When a part is received into inventory and has a regime and its Quality assurance tested flag is set in the Part Maintenance window, the user is provided with the Quality Results Data Maintenance window into which they should enter the Quality Control test results.

To create a test regime, enter a part number and tab through the grid. An additional line will be added if you tab out of the last column of the last row.

TIP: There is a system-level option optQAInheritPhantoms that merges part regimes of multi-level phantom components of an assembly for an overall QA regime. This is useful, for example, when a phantom BoM is in one or more master products. There could be a number of end-products, perhaps packaged differently, deriving from one or more master phantom raw products to which the QA regime needs to apply. Care should be taken with test numbering so that the combined list is sensibly numbered. The combined results will all be linked to the end product when this option applies, not the phantom assemblies.

Field	Description
Part Number	Parts Master. Part number unique identifier. {PTMFILE.PTMPTNO char 18}
Description	Parts Master. Part description. {PTMFILE.PTMDESC char 30}
Default Comments Text Code	Parts Master. Quality assurance test default comments std. engineering text code. {PTMFILE.PTMQACO char 4}
Test Grid	List of tests for the selected part.
Heading Buttons	Click here to change the sort order of the list.
Test Number	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Test number of the set for the part. {QAPFILE.QAPNO integer}
Test Code	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Test code from which description obtained (related to IDXCODE with IDXTYPE=8). {QAPFILE.QAPCODE char 4} You can drag and drop tests from the Index and Other Code Maintenance window to add them to your regime. You cannot use drag and drop to change existing test codes.
Test Description	Test description is from codes previously set up.
Result Range	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Test result expectation for the part. {QAPFILE.QAPRANG char 255}
Minimum	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Minimum permissible numeric value (if any). {QAPFILE.QAPMIN number float}
Maximum	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Maximum permissible numeric value (if any). {QAPFILE.QAPMAX number float}
Decimal Points	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Numeric result decimals (0- to 6, 7=Floating point). {QAPFILE.QAPDP integer shortint}
Customer Range	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Test result customer specification for the part. {QAPFILE.QAPCRAN char 255} NOTE: The customer range and specification minimum and maximum replace the result range and minimum and maximum on documents sent to the customer. This enables you to have an in-house test specification that is tighter than that agreed with or seen by the customer.
Specification Minimum	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Minimum customer specification numeric value (if any). {QAPFILE.QAPCMIN number float}
Specification Maximum	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Maximum customer specification numeric value (if any). {QAPFILE.QAPCMAX number float}

Force into Quarantine	Quality Assurance Part Tests. Force into quarantined stock if enforced min or max. {QAPFILE.QAPFORC boolean} NOTE: The entire receiving quantity will be placed in quarantined stock if the part is multi-location and at least one test that is checked with this attribute is outside the Minimum and Maximum range (not specification minimum and maximum) and it also has the Enforce Limits checked.

Button	Action
Delete All	Deletes all tests for the part.
Copy to Dropped Parts	To copy the currently selected test regime to other parts, drop the parts on to this button from the ScratchPad.
Print Specification	To print a specification document for the selected quality assurance regime. This opens the Customer Selection window so you can address the document to a specific customer.
Revert to Saved	To revert any changes to the previously saved version.
Save as Shown	To save the changes you have made to the data file.
