Field help (QUAFLG)

This code is used to define whether the product must be controlled on stock receipt.
The setup defined in the Product category is used to initialize the level of control of the Product-site record and Supplier-product record.The level of stock control on the Supplier-product record represents the finest level of setup and is used to initialize the level of control by purchase order. 

• No control
  The control is defined according to the management rules. It can be modified manually.
• Non modifiable control
  The quality control is mandatory in stock receipt: only a 'Q' status can be entered.
• Modifiable control
  In a miscellaneous receipt into stock, the quality status is initialized to the value 'Q', modifiable by 'A' or 'R'.
  The quality control code can also be defined at the purchase order level.
  • If in the order the quality control is set to 'Yes', the quality control is mandatory and the receipt is made with one of the sub-statuses Q* defined in the product management rule for movements of receipt type.
    If no sub-status is defined, the status cannot be entered upon receipt.
  • If in the order the quality control is set to NO, the quality control is not mandatory.
    At the time of receipt, the default value of the suggested status is 'A' and it is possible to enter or select all the statuses defined in the rule for the management of the receipt type movement for the product.
• Periodic control 
  The control is automated according to the number of receipts for this supplier and this product. In that case, the stock status can still be modified upon receipt.

When the quality control code associated with the product or with the product-supplier combination has the Non-changeable control value, the field that corresponds to the order line cannot be accessed in entry mode, irrespective of the transactions setup.

This information will then be used at the receipt and cross-checked with the management rule defined for the product category and associated with the movement type Supplier receipt to determine the product status and to generate, if necessary, an analysis request.
