Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Quality Assurance issues a Certificate of Analysis (COA) document to confirm that a regulated item meets its quality specifications. A COA includes the inspection results from the quality control tests for an individual item batch or lot.
COA is available only for quality inspections with a Sampling Requirement set to Simple Sampling. For more information, see Quality Inspections.
You must install the Quality Management bundle before you can use COA. You should request a Release Preview account.
COA includes the following features:
-
Support for lot controlled items only
-
Automatic generation of a COA for a fulfilled item
-
Generated COA details for each lot
A COA report generates for a fulfilled sales or transfer order when the item leaves the location. As part of the fulfillment process, you can generate a COA for items ready to ship. You must assign lots in item fulfillment before a COA generates. Only lot numbers assigned to an item in the item fulfillment document are available in the COA report.
If you have multiple lots, each page in the generated COA report represents a lot.
If you have the Administrator role, you can set preferences to generate a COA in a format that best suits your organization’s needs.
