QA Tests

QA tests are used to track information in a number of situations

Manufacturing QA tests are grouped together using QA Test Groups and then linked to items.  This enables tests to be built up from parts.

1. Define your tests - these are small groups of questions that are asked together. 
   1. An example may be room setup for "Room A"
   2. Another example may be "working with powders"
   3. Another example may be "working with fluids"
2. Define your QA Groups by grouping together related QA Tests
   1. An example may be "working in room A with Powders"
   2. An example may be "working in room A with Fluids
3. Link the QA Groups to the articles that are manufactured
   1. When the manufacturing order is created the latest QA Tests will be copied and used

  • Repeating - will be done repeatably during production
  •  Final - done at end of production batch
