Field help (QUAFLG)

This code is used to define whether this product must be controlled on receipt into stock.
The assigned product Category determines the initial control value for the product-site record and the supplier-stock record. The supplier-stock record value provides the default value for purchase orders.

• No control. The control is based on the management rules. It can be modified manually.
• Non-changeable control. Quality control is mandatory for stock receipts. Q is the only valid status.
• Changeable control. For a miscellaneous receipt into stock, the quality status is initialized to the value Q. This status can be changed to A or R.
  The quality control code can also be defined at the purchase order level.
  • If in the order quality control is set to "Yes", quality control is mandatory and the receipt has one of the sub-statuses Q* defined in the product management rule for receipt movements.
    If no sub-status is defined, the status cannot be entered at the time of receipt.
  • If in the order quality control is set to "No", quality control is not mandatory.
    At the time of receipt, A is suggested as the default status. This can be changed to one of the statuses defined in the receipt movement rule for this product.
• Periodic control. This control is automated according to the number of receipts for this supplier and this product. The stock status can still be modified during entry.
  
  

When the quality control code associated with the product or with the product-supplier combination has the Non-changeable control value, the field that corresponds to the order line cannot be accessed in entry mode, irrespective of the transactions setup.

This information will then be used at the receipt and cross-checked with the management rule defined for the product category and associated with the movement type Supplier receipt to determine the product status and to generate, if necessary, an analysis request.
