DMR Processing by both Quality and Purchasing

Yahoo Archive

That's a good idea, it would help the overall process. In the past I have handled this issue through a procedure- Purchasing knew to do whatever Quality said and didn't make their own decisions- but at this company, Quality wants it locked down so Purchasing cannot vary from their determination.

Thanks!

Our Quality department needs to determine if a Purchased Part Passes or Fails inspection and Purchasing needs to handle DMR Processing (due to communication with supplier for RMA and to enter a Debit Memo Request). Once Quality Fails the Part in Inspection Processing and a DMR is created, is there a way for Quality to lock in an Accept/Reject status without actually Accepting/Rejecting the DMR? I am thinking of maybe using the DMR checkboxes for Quality to enter a user-defined Accept/Reject status and have this trigger a lock so that Purchasing could only Accept the DMR if Quality has checked the Accept box and vice versa. Could this be done with a BPM? Or does anyone have other ideas on how to enforce this?

I have several years experience with Vantage 6.1 but am new to 8.03 (and BPMs). I hope someone can tell me if what I want to do is possible in 8.03.408B. Our Quality department needs to determine if a Purchased Part Passes or Fails inspection and Purchasing needs to handle DMR Processing (due to communication with supplier for RMA and to enter a Debit Memo Request). Once Quality Fails the Part in Inspection Processing and a DMR is created, is there a way for Quality to lock in an Accept/Reject status without actually Accepting/Rejecting the DMR? I am thinking of maybe using the DMR checkboxes for Quality to enter a user-defined Accept/Reject status and have this trigger a lock so that Purchasing could only Accept the DMR if Quality has checked the Accept box and vice versa. Could this be done with a BPM? Or does anyone have other ideas on how to enforce this?

Thanks in advance,

Wouldn't the fact that the part has a DMR # assigned to it be the indicator that it has failed inspection?

It could fail the initial inspection due to say, missing certification. That would create the DMR. But then the paperwork comes in and we would want to Accept the DMR. There are lots of potential situations where it would fail the initial Inspection, but then the DMR gets Accepted.

Why not orient your inspection fail reason codes so that they can act as the basis for a group notification routing process (so necessary people are only involved in open DMRs as needed)?

How complex you make that routing process (sneaker-net to full blown workflow) is up to you.

It could fail the initial inspection due to say, missing certification. That would create the DMR. But then the paperwork comes in and we would want to Accept the DMR. There are lots of potential situations where it would fail the initial Inspection, but then the DMR gets Accepted.
