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.

Warning: The Inspection button is enabled even if, based upon the transaction information entered, the collection triggers conditions for this collection plan are not met??

Background data collection cannot be used when entering quality results for receiving inspection.

Data collection is mandatory for receiving inspections since you must opt to either accept or reject items and cannot save your receiving transaction information without doing so. See: Mandatory Data Collection.

Prerequisites

   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:

1. 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 will appear by default. See: Associating Transactions with Collection Plans.

Attention: Only one collection plan will appear in the Enter Quality Results window.

2. If selected the 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 a 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:

1. In the Results region of the Quality Results window appears, 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.

2. Save your work. See: Saving Your Work.

   To view collection plan or specification attachments while entering result values:
