To enter quality results as you enter receiving transactions:This section describes how you can use Oracle Quality for Receiving Inspections.
If you have Oracle Quality installed, you have the option of entering receiving inspection information using the Inspections window in Oracle Purchasing or the Enter Quality Results window in Oracle Quality.
If you require receiving inspections using Oracle Quality, data collection is mandatory since you must opt to either accept or reject items and cannot save your receiving transaction information without doing so. See: Mandatory Data Collection. This is also the reason background data collection cannot be used.
Define the relevant collection plan in Oracle Quality, enable it and associate it with a Receiving Inspection transaction.
Set the QA:PO Inspection profile option to Oracle Quality.
Enter a receiving transaction. See: Enter Receiving Transaction.
To enter quality results as you enter receiving transactions:Before saving the line, choose the Inspect button. The Enter Quality Results window appears.
When you select the Inspect button, the system searches for all applicable inspection plans; the plan which comes first alphanumerically appears by default and you cannot select another applicable plan until after you save the first plan. See: Associating Transactions with Collection Plans.
If the selected collection plan is associated with a supplier or customer specification type, the Find Specifications window automatically appears.
If the selected collection plan is associated with an item specification type, the system searches for a specification defined for that item. If a valid item specification cannot be found, the system searches for a specification based on the item's category. The default category set you defined using the QA:Quality Category Set profile option is used to determine the item category. See: QA:Quality Category Set.
If the collection plan is not associated with a specification type, you can invoke the Find Specifications window using the Find Specs button. See: Finding Specifications During Transactional Data Collection.
After selecting a specification, the Enter Quality Results window appears.
To enter quality results values:In the Results region of the Quality Results window, enter one or more results records.
If the data collection for the collection plan selected is mandatory, you must always enter quality results.
Attention: The Prompts entered when defining the collection elements are displayed as the column headings.
You must enter results values for mandatory collection plan elements. See: Context Element Dependencies.
Save your work. See: Saving Changes.
