Quality inspection results represent the possible outcomes of inspections in quality management. Examples are In progress, Fail, and Pass. You can configure as many inspection results as you need.
This article explains how to configure and use quality inspection results on the Quality Inspection Results page.
Result concepts
The following table describes the default results for quality inspections:
| Result Code | Description | Evaluation Sequence | Finish Allowed |
|---|---|---|---|
| INPROGRESS | In Progress | 0 | Do Not Allow Finish |
| FAIL | Fail | 1 | Allow Finish |
| PASS | Pass | 2 | Allow Finish |
You can also create custom results:
- Create multiple passing results. For example, Excellent, Good, and Acceptable.
- Create multiple failing results. For example, Minor Defect, Major Defect, and Critical Failure.
Configure quality inspection results
- Select Search (Alt+Q)
in the upper-right corner, enter Quality Inspection Results, and then choose the related link. - Choose New to create a new result.
- In the Code field, enter a short name that indicates the state of the result. For example, Pass or Fail.
- In the Description field, enter a short description of the result.
- In the Evaluation Sequence field, enter a number that corresponds to the result. Results with a lower number in the Evaluation Sequence field are evaluated first.
- In the Result Visibility field, specify whether to promote the result, which emphasizes it on various pages and reports. Promoted results are displayed inline and are editable when you configure tests. They also display prominently when you run inspection, and are featured in reports. For example, Certificate of Analysis report shows promoted results. You typically promote pass conditions.
- In the Result Category field, choose Acceptable for a passing result or Not acceptable for a failing result. Leave the field blank for an inconclusive result.
- In the Finish Allowed field, specify whether to allow inspections to be finished if they contain the result.
- For items with lot, serial, or package tracking, specify how quality inspection results affect specific document transactions. For example, you can block purchase documents while inspections are in progress and block sales documents for failed inspections. Learn more in Block or unblock lots.
- In the Override Style field, specify how to emphasize the result.
Configure result conditions
After you configure the quality inspection results, you must define how each test evaluates those results. At the test level, you specify the conditions that determine which result is assigned when the test is run.
In addition, you can override these evaluation rules in the quality template. Template-level overrides are useful when the same test is used in multiple scenarios but should be evaluated differently depending on the template context. They let you tailor the evaluation logic without modifying the underlying test definition.
Important
You can only configure result conditions in tests and templates for results where the Result Visibility field contains Promoted.
