After you set up the Quality Management system, you can collect, enter, and review test results for an item.

An example of a test result is 0.20 percent syrup result for a sample of a soft drink being tested for syrup concentration.

You can work with test results during your manufacturing and distribution business cycles at the following points:

  • When you enter a receipt for an item on a purchase order

  • At any operation sequence during purchasing receipts routing when you record the movement of a received item

  • When you record completions at operations during the manufacturing process

  • When you complete the item after the manufacturing process and moving it into stock

  • When you enter a sales order

  • During load and delivery or ship confirmation

In addition, you can work with test results from the Quality Management menu.
