Quality Control
QC Questions
When performing quality control actions in GoldFinch, QC Questions are used on QC Tests to provide the test results and to determine whether an Item lot or a serial number should be accepted, rejected, or quarantined.
Each question must be assigned a QC Category. You can customize the QC Category values in your instance by going to the Object Manager.
Technical Sheets
Technical Sheets are used to group QC Questions and should be assigned to items that require QC Testing. The status of a technical sheet must be Certified before it can be used. You can assign the same Technical Sheet to multiple items.
Item Setups
If you want to perform a QC Test for an item, you must assign it a Technical Sheet. Check the QC Required field if you want to create a QC Test automatically when posting a Whse. Receipt and put all received inventory for that item into a separate QC bin.
QC Bin
Create a QC bin to receive inventory for items with the QC Required field checked on the item page.
Field Name | Field Help |
|---|---|
Name | QC |
Bin Type | QC |
Default QC | If checked, this bin will be used when creating Whse Receipt for items that require QC check. |
Do Not Allocate | If checked, inventory in this bin will be excluded from allocation. You must move inventory out of the QC bin to other bins to make it available. |
Creating QC Tests
A QC Test will either be created manually upon receipt of an item that requires a QC Test, or a QC Test can also be created manually by entering the Item No, and Item Lot if the Item is Lot Tracked, or Serial No if the Item is Serial Tracked. The QC Test Lines are populated automatically based on the technical sheet defined on the item.
Once a QC Test is created, you can update the Test Date, Test by Technician, and Pass/Fail on the header. Then you can update the Text Response, and Pass/Fail for each QC Question on the lines.
Certificate of Analysis
After you enter a Text Response to all QC questions, you can click Print Certificate of Analysis to print the document. This document can be attached to Item Lot, or emailed to customers.
