Workflow & Integrated Business Process

  • Process: This module is used to select the GRN to be inspected, which then directs the user to the QC Process module for result input.

  • Result: The recorded QC result (Pass/Fail) will determine if the received goods can be released from 'Quarantine' status to 'Available' stock.

Tips & Important Notes

  • This module is the crucial first step in ensuring the quality of raw materials or goods purchased from suppliers before they are used or sold.
