Basics of using Ramco Enterprise series web page

Using online help

This page allows you to record the inspection results based on the request number and the samples tested. Tell me more.

Select the “Record Inspection Details” link from the “Quality Management” business component.

The “Record Inspection Details” page appears.

The system displays the following:

Sample Status

The status of all the samples tested, based on the attribute status. The system leaves the field blank on launch of the page. The sample status could be one of the following:

 
  •  Accepted – indicates that all the attribute values are within the acceptable limits

 
  •  Rejected – indicates that at least one of the attribute values is out of the allowable limits

Enter the following:

Lot Number

The code identifying the lot.

Request Number

The code identifying the inspection request for which the inspection details must be recorded (Alphanumeric, 18). Mandatory.

 

Help facility available.

Sample Number

Use the drop-down list box to select the sample number. Mandatory. The system populates values in the list box depending on the sample size specified. For example, if the sample size is 5, then the drop-down list box will have values 1,2,3,4 and 5. If the request has only one sample, then the sample number is shown as default.

Note: If the request has only one sample, then the system displays the sample number in the drop-down list box by default, and all the details pertaining to the request are also displayed.

Lab Reference Number

A unique lab reference number assigned when the samples are tested (Alphanumeric, 18). If no value is entered, the system will generate the number automatically if the template for the lab ref number had been defined in the “Setup QC Parameters“ page. Otherwise, the system will display an error.

Test Date & Time

The date and time when the inspection details are recorded (Date and Time Format). The system displays the current date and time by default on launch of the page. The date should be lesser than the current date.

Note: The Lab Ref No should be unique for a combination of Request Number and Sample Number.

The system displays the following:

Type

The inspection request type, which could be “Quality Clearance” or “In Process”.

Item Code

The code identifying the item being inspected.

Variant

The code identifying the variant of the item.

Origin ID

The applications based on which the inspection request is raised.

Sub Lot Number

The code identifying the sub-lot.

Enter the following:

Sample Weight

The quantity per sample (Integer). This value must be positive.

UOM

The unit of measurement of the sample. It is mandatory to enter the UOM if the “Sample Weight” is specified. The UOM must have been defined in the “UOM Administration” business component and must be in “Active” status. You can enter fractional values in this field if the standard UOM allows fractions.

Enter the following in the “Attribute Details” multiline:

Attribute

The code identifying the attributes of the item associated with the inspection request (Alphanumeric, 6).

 

Help facility available.

The system displays the following:

Attribute Type

The type of the attribute, which could be “Quantitative” or “Qualitative” or “Date”.

Enter the following:

Date

Date when the attribute details are recorded. The system displays current date by default if the attribute details are not recorded so far.

Actual Qualitative Value

The actual value of the attribute obtained when the attribute is measured (Alphanumeric, 20). Enter value in this field only if the attribute is of type “Qualitative”.

 

Help facility available.

Actual Quantitative Value

The actual value of the attribute obtained when the attribute is measured (Integer). Enter value in this field only if the attribute is of type “Quantitative”.

Analysis Method

The code identifying the analysis method, which describes the procedure for carrying out inspection (Alphanumeric, 32).

 

Help facility available.

The system displays the following:

Attribute Status

The status of the attribute, which could be “Accepted”, “Rejected” or “Ignore”.

Enter the following:

Revised Attribute Status

Use the drop-down list box to revise the “Attribute Status”. You can select from “Accepted”, “Rejected” or “Ignore”. The system leaves the field blank by default on launch of the page.

The system displays the following:

Attribute Description

The textual description of the attribute.

UOM

The unit of measurement of the attribute. This field is applicable only for the quantitative attribute type.

Enter the following:

Remarks

Any remarks pertaining to the inspection (Alphanumeric, 255).

Feedback

The result of the quality inspection (Alphanumeric, 255).

Note: If the attribute entered in the multiline is defined as mandatory in the inspection plan, then system displays an error if no values are provided for the attribute.

Use Result for Final Clearance

Select the check box to indicate if the results of the inspection should be used for final clearance.

Click the “Record ” pushbutton to save the sample test results.

The system displays the following:

Created By

The name of the user who created the inspection details.

Created Date

The date on which the inspection details were created.

Modified By

The name of the user who last modified the inspection details.

Modified Date

The date on which the inspection details ware last modified.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Record Inspection Details – An overview

Activity overview

A unique laboratory reference number is attached to each quality test performed for the item, which enables in tracking the samples tested.

There could be multiple samples tested for a request. The final batch classification would depend on the result of each sample. The system displays the status for all the samples tested based on the attribute status. The attribute status could be “Accepted”, “Rejected” or “Ignored”. For example, suppose five attributes are measured in a sample out of which four attributes have values within the acceptable limits, whereas the fifth attribute value is out of the allowed limit. Though four attributes are within the acceptable limits, the system would still show the sample status as “Rejected” based on the worst-case principle. You are allowed to revise the status suggested by the system by selecting the status you wish to assign. You could also choose to “Ignore” the sample for further processing.

When a request is of type “In-Process” inspection, the feedback from quality to production is entered only as a text. Hence, the feedback will have to be monitored procedurally within production. The results recorded against “In-Process” request are not considered for batch classifications. Such results will be considered for analysis and batch classification only if the check box “Use Result for Final Clearance” is checked.
