Understanding Test Overrides

After you enter test results, you can override the pass or fail value of each individual test. If a lot fails, for example, because a test was faulty due to malfunctioning equipment or improper testing procedure, you might need to override a failing value to make the lot available for use.

If you override test results, these overridden test results appear on printed Certificates of Analysis as on spec data, that is, passing values. Thus, the customer does not know that the results were changed from their original status. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Quality Management system indicates results that were overridden because the system enters 1 in the O (test override) field in the Enter Test Results program (P3711) or Test Results Workbench program (P37203).

You should secure the override test results function to allow users to review the status and only individuals with the correct authority to change the status.
