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
