Are Non-Conform Fields Tied to the Quality Module?

We are looking at tightening up the data entered from our users. Right now they can enter total pieces complete and scrap pieces. There is also a field for Non-Conform quantity. I am trying to find out if that is a module locked field? I assume it’s tied to the quality module we don’t have. I saw this by trying to include the non-conform qty in a BAQ (LaborDtl.DiscrepQty). But I got errors indicating it might be a locked module. Can anyone confirm this suspicion?
Thank you!

Non-Conform definitely takes pieces off the job and routes them through the Quality Inspection system. If you don’t have the quality module, there would be no where else for those pieces to go.

I was hoping it was just another field we could reference, but I see there is epi magic tied to it. Thank you!

You’ll probably have to roll your own UD would be my guess.

Just as an addendum, the QC module is…decent.

The Inspection and DMR modules are fine, albeit basic. I had to bootstrap a way to tag a single NC part with multiple discrepancies in a single transaction though. That wasn’t too bad. Though if we had properly configured Inspection Plans, we wouldn’t have need to go that route. Plans are nice, especially in the newer versions where they culled the old form builder.

The Corrective Actions module is worthless, especially for aerospace uses where you need to correct non-production deficiencies.

Right on point.

Let’s just say I’ve never had a customer implement and use Corrective Action unless it was significantly customized.

I would consider getting the advanced quality module for the skip lot feature alone.

I built my own from a UD form. Seemed far easier than trying to hijack the stock app. A CA is basically a glorified note taking app with references to any relevant documents elsewhere in the system. So a few long text fields, some defined attachments, and shortchar fields aliased to the relevant key fields and you’re done. Maybe add some periodic email alerts to stay on top of open CA’s.
