Overview

This section is part of the Contoso Coffee demo data and is meant for testing and training on quality management. It has no subtopics, only four pages: one setup page and three scenario walkthroughs.

Start with the setup page, which explains how to install and generate the Contoso Coffee demo data for quality management. It provides sample templates, tests, results and generation rules for purchase and production inspections. The three scenario pages then use that data, each showing a different way an inspection gets created: automatically when production output is posted, automatically when a warehouse receipt is posted (followed by a reinspection of the lot), and manually from a purchase order’s item-tracking line before the receipt is posted.

Key points

• Setup page installs and generates Contoso Coffee demo data for quality management, including templates, tests, results and generation rules for purchase and production inspections.
• Production scenario: posting production output automatically creates a sampled inspection when the production template has tests and a sample amount set (fixed quantity sampling). The walkthrough includes completing the inspection.
• Warehouse scenario: posting a warehouse receipt automatically creates an inspection for lot-tracked items. After the initial inspection fails, a reinspection is created.
• The warehouse scenario also includes registering the warehouse put-away.
• Manual scenario: create an inspection from a purchase order’s item-tracking line before posting the receipt, with lot assignment and test value entry.
• The manual scenario also covers a certificate of analysis.
