Create and Print Analysis, Purchasing

Explanation

An analysis can be created using several windows in the receipt function. When you choose Create Analysis from the Operations menu, a read-only dialog box appears with the information to be transferred. The Print Test Instruction check box is enabled by default. Disable the check box if you do not want a printout. When you click OK, the system creates an analysis. 

The test instruction can be attached when the goods are sent for inspection. The controller can then enter the test result on the test instruction and send it back with the goods.

Note that if the Creating Analysis for Purchasing feature is set as mandatory in IFS/Quality Management, you have to perform this activity at some point in the receipt process in order to be able to move the goods into stock. 

Prerequisites

• An active control plan must exist, and be connected to the receipt.
• Arrival registration of the purchase order must be complete. 

System Effects

• As a result of this activity, the system creates an analysis for the selected receipt, and a test instruction is printed if you have not disabled this option for the selected receipt. 
• When the analysis is created the Qty to Inspect field in the Purchase Order Receipt window will get the highest sample size according to the data points that will be included in the analysis.
