Use this form to validate a selected quality order by entering the employee ID who authorizes the validation. The status of the selected quality order will change to fail if the validation encounters any error condition, such as not reporting test results, failure to meet the acceptable quality limit (AQL), or the lack of any test results that passed. You can optionally choose to ignore the error conditions, thereby forcing the validation to assign a pass status to the quality order. In cases where an error condition caused a quality order to be validated as fail, and you want to force the validation to a pass status, you must reopen the quality order and then perform another validation. The identity of the approving employee is especially important when you force the validation to a pass status.

Examples

A quality order was created for the receipt of a purchased item, and the tests results were reported against several tests within the quality order. Validation of the quality order did not identify errors, and the system-assigned status changed from open to pass.

A second quality order was created for the second receipt of the same purchased item and tests, and only a few of the test results were reported. Validation of the quality order did identify errors, and the system-assigned status changed from open to fail. In order to pass the validation, you would need to reopen the quality order, and then either report the missing results or force the validation to a pass status.
