Introduction
The Quality Management module (19.26) enables you to test incoming material, finished products, and inventory; inspect first articles, processes, or items in-process; and perform destructive testing. For all but in-process inspection, you manage quality with quality orders: documents that specify what is tested, how, and when. You can define specifications, test procedures, and inventory sampling, and record the results of testing.
