Stability Testing Entry

Stability testing allows re-testing/re-verification of manufactured items already placed in inventory. The setup of Quality Control Tests and Quality Control Groups is required to use the Stability Result Entry feature within Deacom. Once QC Groups that are meant to be used for Stability testing are created, and the appropriate QC Tests added, they are then attached to the QC/Stability Tests tab on the Bill of Materials (BOM). Items may have multiple BOM revisions with various Stability tests assigned to each different revision.

Stability Result Entry report

Opened via the "Continue" button on the Stability Result Entry pre-filter, the Stability Result Entry report is a mover form that contains a line for each Lot that requires Stability testing and conforms to the selected pre-filters. For example, if a production Job contains one Finished Good for a quantity of 10 and two different finishes were performed for 5 each, the list will contain two lines, one for each finish. Users with the appropriate access have the ability to modify the grid layout where additional information, such as the item's current Location, may be added to the list.

Button	Description
Continue	Displays the Quality Control Results form to continue with QC testing. Refer to the Quality Control Results page for field definitions on the forms used for the continuation of this process. QC testing may be performed on multiple items simultaneously, provided the items share the same QC Group.
Un-Group	If clicked, the Lots on the right-hand side of the mover form that have the same QC Groups will be un-grouped and all previously entered QC results will be cleared. Requires the security setting "Quality Control -- Un-Group QC" set to yes.
