Entering quality information online enables paperless transactions for required quality standards. You can only enter quality information if the buying company has Oracle Quality and you have permission.

You first create a Quality Collection Plan in Oracle Quality and associate the plan with the Self-Service Quality for outside processing transactions. You enter quality information to communicate to your buyer if your item meets the quality standards required. For example, an electrical motor supplier performs a detailed electrical test on each motor. That supplier can enter the quality data gathered from each test and enter that information online in Oracle iSupplier Portal prior to shipping the motor. Quality engineers can evaluate the results and stop the shipment of any motors that do not meet the requirements.

The system displays an available link in the Quality Plans column. Clicking this link displays a list of collection plans associated with your purchase order. You can enter quality results, view quality results submitted, or view attachments for any purchase order listed.

The Quality Shipments page displays purchase order and shipping information for any purchased item being shipped, but only for open jobs that also have at least one collection plan assigned to them. You can obtain the shipment number, ship-to location, and ship-to organization. You can also download quality collection plans, and collect and submit quality data regarding your shipments.
