Quality Assurance: Part Quality Assurance Regime Maintenance

Part Quality Assurance Regime Maintenance

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 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.

Decimal Points

Quality Assurance Part Tests. Numeric result decimals (0- to 6, 7=Floating point). {QAPFILE.QAPDP integer shortint}

Customer Range

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}

Enforce limits

Quality Assurance Part Tests. Enforce minimum and maximum. {QAPFILE.QAPFORC boolean}

Force into Quarantine

Quality Assurance Part Tests. Force into quarantined stock if enforced min or max. {QAPFILE.QAPFORC boolean}

Note 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.
