Reusable Quality Templates
Define Once, Inspect Consistently Every Time

Standardise your quality inspections across your entire organisation. Build reusable QC templates that define the exact tests, acceptable limits, and measurement units for each product classification — then let the system apply them automatically.

  • Configurable Test Lines: Define multiple tests per template, each with a test code, description, lower limit, upper limit, and measurement unit
  • QC Classification on Items: Link each item or item variant to a quality template directly from the Item Card, so inspections always use the right specification
  • Measurement Units: Support for a wide range of units including percentages, grams, mg/l, Vol%, seconds, and Yes/No checks
  • Template-Driven Samples: When a QC document is created, template lines are automatically applied to every sample — eliminating manual setup

automated lot status management
Automated Lot Status Management
Restrict, Release, and Protect Inventory Automatically

Never ship uninspected goods again. The app automatically restricts lot statuses on inbound inventory transactions and prevents restricted or failed lots from being consumed or sold — until quality inspection is complete.

  • Automatic Restriction: Positive Item Ledger Entries are automatically marked as Restricted when received, blocking downstream use
  • Granular Entry Type Control: Choose exactly which transaction types trigger restrictions — Purchases, Sales, Output, Consumption, Positive Adjustments, Assembly, or any combination
  • Lot No. Information Sync: QC status is synchronised between Item Ledger Entries and Lot No. Information records in real time
  • Three-State Lifecycle: Lots flow through Released, Restricted, and Failed statuses with full auditability
Multi-Sample Inspection Workflow
Detailed Test Results with Pass/Fail Evaluation

Conduct thorough quality inspections with support for multiple samples per lot. Record individual test measurements against each sample, and let the system evaluate pass/fail status automatically based on your defined limits.

  • Multiple Samples per Document: Inspect as many samples from a lot as your process requires, each with its own results
  • Automatic Pass/Fail: Test results are validated against template-defined upper and lower limits — pass or fail is determined instantly
  • Statistical Aggregation: View Sum, Average, Minimum, Maximum, and Count across result values for each test code per sample
  • Apply Test Results: With a single action, evaluate all samples and update the lot status to Released or Failed across all related Item Ledger Entries
  • Reopen & Re-evaluate: Reopen an applied QC document to add new results, then re-apply — the lot reverts to Restricted until re-evaluated

Tailored Inspections for Every Stage of the Supply Chain

Not every inspection is the same. The app supports four distinct document purposes, each with its own context-aware actions, visible fields, and dedicated reports — so your team always works with the right interface for the task at hand.

  • Arrival QC: Inspect incoming goods at receipt and ensure they meet specifications before being released into inventory
  • Pre-Departure QC: Perform final quality checks before goods leave your facility, ensuring customer standards are met
  • Re-Inspection: Revisit previously inspected lots at designated re-inspection points with full traceability
  • Return to Vendor: Document quality failures for vendor returns with supporting evidence and rejection reason codes
  • Context-Aware Interface: Report actions and fields dynamically adapt based on the selected document purpose
Certificate of Analysis & Reports
Professional Quality Documentation at the Click of a Button

Generate professional, customer-ready quality documentation directly from Business Central. The app includes a suite of purpose-built reports that provide full traceability from raw test data through to formal certificates.

  • Certificate of Analysis (COA): Print a formal COA showing passed test results, specifications, inspector details, and sales shipment information
  • COA Summary: Generate a consolidated summary COA across multiple inspections
  • Re-Inspection Report: Document re-inspection outcomes with full sample and result history
  • Return to Vendor Report: Produce formal documentation for vendor quality claims
  • Pre-Departure QC Report: Create departure clearance reports with complete test result details

configurable lookup system
Fully Configurable Lookup System
Extend Your Quality Data Without Writing Code

Every organisation has unique quality terminology. The app includes a powerful, extensible lookup system that lets you define your own quality codes, grades, inspection points, and more — with colour-coded visual indicators for instant status recognition.

  • Hierarchical Lookups: Define lookup fields and values with parent-child relationships for structured data
  • User-Defined Fields: Add custom lookup fields beyond the built-in system fields — no developer required
  • Colour-Coded Indicators: Assign Red, Amber, Green, Blue, Black, or Magenta indicators to quality grades and customer quality codes for at-a-glance status
  • Built-In Categories: Pre-configured fields for Quality Grade, Customer Quality Code, Inspection Point, Inspection Status, Rejection Reason, Target Market, and more
