Quality's integration with Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM) enables users of Oracle Process Operations to log nonconformances whenever actual production results or actions differ from the OPM Master Batch Record. Log a nonconformance from the following windows by selecting Log Nonconformance from the Actions menu:

• Batch window

• Batch Details window

• Batch Steps window

Before you can collect quality data when working with OPM batches, you must first set up and associate one or more collection plans with the Process Nonconformance (Oracle Process Nonconformance) transaction. This activates the Actions menu's Log Nonconformance selection so that you can enter quality results. You can create your own collection plan, or you can use one of the following templates provided specifically for the Process Nonconformance transaction as well as nonconformances in general:

• Template Nonconformance Master Plan

• Template Nonconformance Master Plan(Nonconformance only)

See: Template Nonconformance Master Plan, Oracle Quality Implementation Guide.

Prerequisites

• Set up and define one or more collection plans specific to the transaction. See: Collection Plans for Managing Manufacturing Quality.

   To enter process nonconformance data during batch production:

1. Select Log Nonconformance from the Actions menu.

2. Select a collection plan. The Enter Quality Results window opens.

   You can select any collection plan that is associated with the Process Nonconformance transaction and enabled.

3. In the Results region of the Enter Quality Results window, enter one or more records.

   When you define collection elements, the Prompts that you enter display as column headings. If data collection is not mandatory, you can select Cancel to skip quality data entry.

4. Save your work.
