Depending on the nature of the entered parameter (measurement, description, etc), entering an authorized off-standard answer can have consequences on the quality of the controlled product.
It is possible to block the lot or the work order, with several possibilities:
- No blocking: The off-standard answer does not put into question the quality of the product and the parts are considered to be complying.
- Statuses blocking: The off-standard answer reveals a product quality problem. The parts are considered to be non-complying.
- New record: The off-standard answer does put into question the quality of the product(s). A new quality record needs to be completed.
