This article explains how to configure and use quality inspection results in quality management.
Quality inspection results represent the possible outcomes of quality inspections. Examples of typical results are Incomplete, Fail, and Pass. However, you can configure as many results as you want, and in what circumstances. If you're unsure what to configure, use the three defaults. To learn more about the defaults, go to Result concepts.
Result concepts
The following are the default results for quality inspections:
| Result Code | Description | Evaluation Sequence | Allow Finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| INPROGRESS | In Progress | 0 | Do Not Allow Finish |
| FAIL | Fail | 1 | Allow Finish |
| PASS | Pass | 2 | Allow Finish |
- In Progress - The inspection is incomplete or in progress.
- Fail - The inspection failed to meet quality criteria.
- Pass -The inspection met quality criteria.
However, 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, specify whether the result represents something good, or bad. For inconclusive results, leave the field blank.
- In the Finish Allowed field, specify whether to allow inspections to be completed if they contain the result.
- For items with lot, serial, or package tracking, you can 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 at Lot blocking and unblocking
- 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 executed.
In addition, you can override these evaluation rules in the quality template. This is useful when the same test is used in multiple scenarios but should be evaluated differently depending on the template context. Overriding conditions at the template level allows you to 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 is set to Prioritise.
