This scope item manages quality inspection in procurement: At goods receipt, a good is posted to quality inspection stock and an inspection lot is created based on an inspection plan. The quality technician records the inspection results. The quality engineer then makes a usage decision – for example, accepting or rejecting the material, posting the material to unrestricted stock or blocked stock, or triggering return to the supplier, with the option of posting as a consumed sample. For rejected results, a defect is automatically recorded. The supplier is rated on the quality score defined in the usage decision. With a dynamic modification rule, quality inspections can be tightened, reduced, or skipped based on previous inspection results. You can block the creation of purchase orders or limit the purchased quantity due to quality reasons. By leveraging quality certificates in procurement, you can ensure that suppliers provide the documents if required.
