Click Inventory management > Periodic > Quality management > Quality orders.

Use this form to identify the tests and to record test results and test quantity for a specific item.

The tests initially reflect the test group that is assigned to the quality order. Tests can be added, deleted, or changed. A quality order can be manually created or automatically generated based on rules that are defined in the Quality associations form. A quality order is associated with an item in a sales order, a purchase order, a quarantine order, a production order, a production order routing operation, or an on-hand inventory balance. Items that are specified for inspection in a quality order are automatically blocked from issue or consumption.
