QA Module (V5.1.131)

I would agree Dick, I think we are missing a DMR Tracker and in Part Advisor
"Do I have any Open DMR's? Also the ability to Disposition RMA parts to a
DMR. Currently you have to Disposition parts to inventory, then create a
nonconformance then fail them to create a DMR.

Fellow Vantagians,

Those of you who are currently using/exploring the QA module in
Vantage know that
when you receive a shipment flagged for inspection, the receipt quantity
goes into a black
hole as far as visibility is concerned. The receipt does not show up on the
stock status report,
or in the bins associated with the part number. This fact is causing
heart-burn to some of the
departments (finance/materials) and I am wondering if anyone has come up
with a solution to
keep these receipts/inventory quantities known and to prevent them from
falling through the
cracks, especially at end of month processing. I see a couple of canned
reports that may
help. Also, it appears that the permissions for the inspection processing
panel will have to
opened to three departments for complete input. Purchasing, QA and
materials will all have
a piece of data to enter into some of these panels. Purchasing is also
lamenting that when
materials is returned, it does not necessarily go back to the billing
address. I guess I'll have
to use some VB form character fields to allow for this. Also, while parts
are in the DMR queue,
they are also out of sight, even tho they've been assigned to a bin.
We're currently walking through these processes to see how all of
this shakes out.
I would be interested in hearing how you pioneers/explorers have dealt for
some of these issues.

kind regards,
