Quality Management features are available as an extension. The extension installs automatically on newly deployed environments. For upgraded environments, you can install the extension from Marketplace.

The extension gives you full control of when you do quality checks:

Purchase Receipts: Quality checks happen after you post purchase receipts, with or without warehousing handling.
Production Output: Quality checks happen on production output, either manually or automatically (flushing), to verify that the manufactured products meet quality specifications.
Assembly Output: Quality checks happen on assembly output, either manual or automatic (assembly-to-order), to ensure that the assembled items meet quality standards.
Manual and Scheduled Checks: Quality checks trigger manually or at regular intervals on a schedule.

Several parameters are available that let you fine-tune your quality checks:

Quality check scope: Apply the quality check scope to various levels, including individual items, groups, lots, or specific serial and package numbers.
Parameters or attributes to assess: Assess physical measurements such as weight, dimensions, and density to ensure products conform to specifications.
Quality check timing and triggers: Specify the event that initiates the quality control procedure. For example, use an event when you post a purchase receipt, after production or assembly output, or at predefined time intervals.
External analysis settings: Set a fixed quantity or percentage of the total quantity as samples for third-party analysis.
Quality test plans: Define a quality test plan for each scope. Include triggers and a list of testing parameters for each trigger.
Quarantine procedures: Define quarantine procedures to freeze items or prevent their immediate use.

The extension also offers several tools for reporting and analyses.

Quality Certificates: Quality certificates are essential documents that verify the quality and safety of products. They ensure compliance with standards.
Certificate of Analysis: A certificate of analysis provides detailed information about the composition and quality of a product. You often need it for regulatory compliance.
Quality Status Overview: An overview of item quality status helps stakeholders understand the current quality levels and any issues in production.
Quality Orders Overview: An overview of quality orders summarizes customer requirements and production batches. It ensures that quality expectations are met.
