Enhanced Inspection Capabilities
The following inspection features have been included in the NetSuite 2024.2 Quality Management SuiteApp:

Inspection tasks can be performed only by employees who have been assigned to an inspection. This ensures that inspection reporting is carried out by the approved employees and prevents unauthorized personnel from updating data.
-
To help improve the integrity and security of the data, the system prevents updates to inspection data for completed inspections.
-
To avoid unnecessary emails being sent when email notifications are not required, email notifications are generated based on configuration settings.
-
The Quality subtab now displays a list of the following quality inspection transactions and their status:
-
Work Order

Work Order Completion

Assembly Build

Item Receipt
-
Item Fulfillment

Transfer Order

You can now generate an inspection queue by entering the transaction quantity in decimal format in the Ad-Hoc Queue Creation page.

SCM Mobile Enhancements
SCM Mobile provides the following enhancements:
Highlighting Table Rows with Colors
SCM Mobile provides six standard colors that you can use to highlight rows of data tables. You can choose up to three colors to set up on a single data table. When you set up a color, you add a column condition to specify the data you want to highlight. The app applies the color to entire rows that contain data that meet your condition. For more information, see SCM Mobile App Configuration.
Assigning Printer Groups to Printers
You can create printer groups and assign them to one or more printers available through your PrintNode client. You can create groups for dedicated printers that you use for areas, zones, and teams in a location. On the app, you can set a default printer group for your selected location. During printing, you can specify a different group and choose a printer that belongs to it. For more information, see Mobile Printing Setup Procedures.
Attaching Images and Files to Custom Records
Aside from attaching images and files to standard transactions and records, you can now attach them to custom ones. When you set up image capture or file upload on a mobile process, you can choose from the supported custom records. For more information, see Setting Up Image Capture or File Upload.
Exporting and Importing Standard Mobile Processes
You can now export and import standard mobile processes to other accounts that use the same mobile app. For standard processes, you can export any changes made to page elements through Mobile Configuration. For more information, see SCM Mobile Setup.
