Integration With Other PeopleSoft Applications

A quality function parents control plans with associated sample data and is the first point of integration between Quality and other PeopleSoft applications. The function provides awareness of the different fields that are common to an integrating application. Quality functions are created to synchronize fields with other PeopleSoft applications and eliminate the need to enter placeholders in unused fields.

To configure Quality to operate in a given data collection environment:

  1. Define a quality function.

  2. Identify the characteristics that you want to monitor on a measurement plan.

  3. Create control plans that bring together a measurement plan and specific process identifiers.

Currently, Quality integrates with Purchasing, Inventory, and Production Management and delivers the following predefined quality functions to accommodate the integration between products:
