Key Features and Benefits
  1. QA Defects: This feature allows for the set up and maintenance of QA Defect Tracking record which is used to record defects found within a Work Order. These Defects are recorded as a direct result from QA Test Activities. And therefore, can be associated with a particular Item.
  2. QA Inbound Inspections: This work instruction covers the recording of Inbound Inspection results into the Business Central. The results are recorded for each Item on the receipt that has been marked for Inspection and must not be used to record inspection results for more than one. The inspection result is linked to the individual receipt line, so later analysis can be performed.
  3. QA Test: This work instruction covers the set up and maintenance of Tests. This is a “Supporting Data” step where new Tests related to a Test Type can be created or updated.
  4. QA Test Activities: This work instruction covers the creation of a QA Test Activity. This is a Production Test, either as part of the “In Process” QA tests, or as one of the various flavors of Final Test. To delineate between reasons for testing the specific Test Types and related Tests must already exist within Business Central.
  5. QA Corrective and Preventative Action Report (CPAR): This work instruction is used to record instances where an action should be taken to improve a process or correct a fault caused during a process. They are usually associated to an Item, Purchase Order, Work Order, or Sales Order, but this is not always the case.
  6. QA Suspended Material Report (SMR): The SMR is created in response to an event in the Receiving, Production, or Warehousing process. And now after the Materials Review Board (MRB) process is complete the SMR can have its disposition recorded, along with any other pertinent information.
  7. QA Supplier Corrective Action Report (SCAR): This work instruction covers the creation and amendment of a QA Supplier Corrective Action Report (SCAR). These are used to record instances where action should be taken to improve a vendor’s performance. They must be associated to an Item, and are usually associated with a Purchase Order, but this is not always the case. The SCAR is used to record the fault and what can be done to rectify it. They are also used when analyzing Vendor Performance.
  8. QA Approval Request: This feature supports approval Requests which have been submitted through an SMR, SCAR, or Deviation process. The list provided only includes those for the current user, and those that have yet to have an Action performed.
  9. QA Re-Work Order: This feature covers the creation of a specific type of Work Order, called a Re-Work Order. The main difference between a Re-Work Order and a general Work Order is that on a Re-Work Order the end item on the Work Order Line must be a component on that Work Order.
  10. Vendor Rating: This feature allows companies to update or amend vendor cards which are designed to analyze and monitor supplier performance for improvement in supplier quality.
  11. Configurable Quality Assurance Setup: The add-on provides setup pages for defining QA supporting data document numbering series and enabling features.
  12. Role Centre: The Role Centre provides insights into making decisions based on data. It is the user’s entry point and home page in Business Central.
