Managing Quality

This chapter provides an overview of quality management, lists common fields, and discusses how to:

Enter test results.
Add comments to tests.
View test results.
Print tasting sheets.
Purge test results.

Understanding Quality Management

After you set up quality management for JD Edwards Blend Management, you create quality assurance (QA) configured operations from base QA operations. You can associate default tests with configured operation. You can add tests or test panels when you enter Quality operations. You can also delete tests from QA operations.

After you perform QA tests, you enter or revise the test results and result comments for the QA operations. As necessary, you can review tests results and process a report with the test results. You can also print a tasting sheet for use in the testing lab.

The system retains all test results until you purge them. Occasionally, you might need to purge test results to free up space on the system.

See Setting Up Configured Operations.

Common Fields Used in this Chapter

Comment Option	Enter a UDC (31B/LC) to identify if the comment carries forward.
Comments	Enter text for comments or click Select List to select a predefined comment.
Date Tested	Enter the test date.
Entry Status	Indicates if a result has been entered for a test value.
Lot Comment Code	Enter a UDC (31B/CM) to identify the type of comment.
Previous Test Value	Displays the previous result for the test. In some cases, it may be a blended result.
Result Value	The system displays the test value that was converted to the result name definition. If the test definition did not require a conversion, then the result and test value will be the same.
Result UOM (result unit of measure)	The system displays the result unit of measure.
Tester	Enter the tester name or ID.
Test Value	Enter the result of the test.

Entering Test Results

This section provides an overview of entering test results and discusses how to:

Set processing options for Speed Result Entry - Blend Management (P31B98).
Set processing options for Quality (P31B67K).
Enter test results.
Use speed entry.

Understanding Test Results Entry

After you perform QA tests on a blend lot, you can enter test results for individual operations or for multiple operations using speed result entry. When you select operations, the system reserves those operations. If the operation is currently reserved, an error message displays on the Edit Quality Results form. Additionally, the system reserves all vessels on the operation you select and those operations that relate to the selected operation. If the vessel is currently reserved, an error message appears. You must cancel the reserved operation or vessel selection.

You enter the tester for the operation and vessel. You can enter the date or use the system date.

You can enter or revise test results at any status of the operation. Test results that you enter at the active or actual status carry forward with each operation on the blend lot. The system cannot carry forward test results that you enter or change on a closed operation.

Note. To enter or change test results for closed operations, you must use the Speed Result Entry program (P31B98).

When you enter test results, you can set a processing option to validate results either against the test definition or the test result name. If the results do not meet test specifications and fall within acceptable ranges, the system issues a warning. If the test definition has a conversion ID, the system converts the test value to the result name value.

The system validates the test results that you enter for a QA operation with the test results from the Before lot. If the change exceeds the change threshold percentage you set up in the test definition, the system issues a warning. For example, if the previous result was 100 and you defined a change threshold of 10 percent, the system issues a warning if the new result is above 110 or below 90.

The system stores test results in the Test Results table (F3711).
