Quality

Quality builds inspection into your flow — define checks, run them at the right points, and hold or release stock based on the result.

Define checks & control points

1. Go to XO Operations → Quality → Checks → New.
2. Create a check (measurements, pass/fail criteria, tolerances).
3. Attach it to a control point — on receiving (incoming goods), in production (in-process or final), or before dispatch.

Run inspections

1. At each control point, XO prompts the inspection.
2. Record results; pass releases stock, fail raises an alert and can hold the lot (links to Tracking).
3. Capture photos/notes for the record.

Best practices

• Inspect at receiving to stop bad stock entering — cheapest place to catch defects.
• Tie quality holds to lot tracking so only affected stock is quarantined.
• Trend failure rates by supplier (feeds Sourcing scoring).

Troubleshooting

• Stock released despite fail. Check that the control point enforces a hold on fail.
• No inspection prompt. Confirm the check is attached to the active control point.
