Quality Checks

Record inspection outcomes so defects are caught before goods ship.

What quality checks do

Record inspection outcomes against production so defects are caught before goods ship. Pass and fail results build a quality history that supports your QMS and highlights recurring problems to fix at source.

Recording a check

  1. Go to Production β†’ Quality Checks and click New Check.
  2. Link it to the production order it inspects.
  3. Record what was checked and against what standard.
  4. Record the outcome β€” pass or fail β€” and the quantity inspected.
  5. For a fail, record the defect found. This is the field that has value six months from now.
  6. Save.

After a failure

  1. Quarantine the affected units so they cannot ship.
  2. Decide: rework, scrap, or accept under concession.
  3. Adjust stock accordingly through Inventory β†’ Stock Adjustments if units are scrapped.
  4. Look at whether the same defect has appeared before.

Using the history

Recurring defects on the same product or work centre point at a cause β€” a worn tool, a supplier batch, a process step. That pattern is the real output of this page, not the individual pass mark.

Tip: Record the defect in consistent wording. Free-text descriptions that vary every time make the recurrence invisible, which defeats the purpose of keeping the history.
