Prerequisites

• Access the menu Registration > Receiving Inspection Form (IP003) .
• Supplier associated with the subject of the inspection report.

Presentation

Since each supplier's relationship with the organization may be at different stages of maturity, it is crucial that the inspection process allows for customized rules for each case. This way, it's possible to configure, for each supplier, the rules applied during receiving, including: 

• Initial sample: request for initial product samples. 
• Inspection frequency: the regularity with which incoming goods will undergo the inspection stage. 
• Sampling rule: criteria for taking samples during the inspection stage of each characteristic. 
• Supplier blocking: a feature used when there is evidence of poor quality in previous receipts, preventing the opening of new receipts for the supplier. 

In this article, we will use as an example the association of the supplier "Saltzan Inc" with the inspection sheet for the object of steel bars. 

Configuring supplier

1. Access the menu Registration > Receiving Inspection Form (IP003).

2. On the inspection form, go to the Supplier tab.

3. Include or select the desired supplier. To do this, use the button to add new records or the button to edit those already registered.

4. On the screen that will open, you will be able to fill in or modify the information on the General, Characteristic, and Initial Sample tabs. For more details on filling in the fields on the tabs, see the articles Configure receiving inspection step and Configure characteristics.

5. If necessary, enable the "Block receivings for this supplier" option. 

6. Save the information to complete the setup.

Conclusion

Individual supplier settings allow for greater control over quality rules. When registering a receipt and selecting the supplier, the defined rules will be automatically applied by the system.
