Quality Point
The rule that triggers inspection. For an item (or a quality group of items) received on a given movement at a given site, it names the inspection group to use. It can also block the vendor invoice until the inspection passes.
What it is for
A receipt line raises an inspection order only when the item needs quality and a quality point matches it. When several match, the most specific wins: a point for the vendor beats one for any vendor, then one for the manufacturer, then one for the item's lifecycle status.
The one rule people get wrong: an item marked as needing quality with no matching quality point is refused at receipt: "Quality Point is not configured of item ...".
Every field in plain words
| Field | What it means | What to put |
|---|---|---|
| Quality Point, Name | The rule | The name must be unique within the module |
| Module | Purchase, sales, production or inventory | Required |
| Base On, Base On Value | An item, or a quality group | Required |
| Site | Where | Required |
| Movement | The receipt movement it applies to | Required. Only receipt movements |
| Account Code, Account Selection | For purchase: a particular vendor | Optional |
| Manufacturer | A particular manufacturer | Optional |
| Lifecycle Status | The item's lifecycle status | Optional |
| Inspection Group | The tests to run | Required |
| Process Block | What waits for the inspection | Picked from the list. With invoice, a receipt line still in inspection is kept off the automatic vendor invoice; when empty it is saved as None |
| Block | Stops the point applying |
The Movements grid (movement direction, movement, inspection group) is recorded only: matching reads the header. Its inspection group column has no field definition and is never shown.

- Item In Legal Entity - the item's Quality Required and quality group.
If something looks wrong
- "You can't create it on (module) and (base on) because it is already exists." - a point with the same module, base, site, movement, vendor and manufacturer exists.
- "A record with the same module and Quality Point Name already exists."
