Integration With Other PeopleSoft Applications

Quality can be called directly from other selected Purchasing, Inventory, and Manufacturing components.

You can call Quality from these applications:

• Purchasing, for receiving inspection.

• Manufacturing, for completions and scrap of items on production IDs and schedules.

• Inventory, for inspecting returned material on an RMA.

You can always invoke sample data entry directly from Quality.

To call Quality from Purchasing and Manufacturing:

1. Use a direct page-to-page interface to begin a business activity using one application.

2. Initiate a transfer to Quality sample data entry, automatically passing common information, such as item, lot number, and supplier information.

3. Enter inspection observations required by the measurement plan and view the results and the alarm information from the data entered online.

4. Return control to the originating application upon completion of the quality analysis.

To call Quality from Inventory:

1. Initiate a Quality sample data-entry session, and pass the relevant information from a business activity.

2. Navigate to Quality and display the session that was originally created.

3. Enter inspection observations required by the measurement plan.

4. View results and alarm information from data entered online.
