## Short answer

Ecosire's SAP B1 Quality Control & Inspection is a Business One add-on covering documented inspections, certificates of analysis, NCR and CAPA ageing and supplier quality reporting for manufacturers. It adds quality records around Business One transactions. Treat it as an inspection and nonconformance layer, and verify scope against your regulatory needs.

## Integration

**Method:** SAP Business One add-on

**Detail:** The vendor lists it as an add-on that works inside Business One. Details of triggers and stock handling are not published in the listing, so ask Ecosire how inspections link to goods receipts and production orders, whether stock is held in quarantine, and how NCR and CAPA records reference documents and batches.

## Data Flows

**From:** SAP Business One

**To:** Quality add-on

**Data:** Item, batch, supplier and source document for the inspected lot

**Trigger:** Receipt, production output or manual inspection request

**From:** Quality add-on

**To:** SAP Business One

**Data:** Inspection result and release or rejection decision

**Trigger:** Inspection is completed and approved

**From:** Quality add-on

**To:** Customer or auditor

**Data:** Certificate of analysis for a shipped lot

**Trigger:** Lot is released and shipped

**From:** Quality add-on

**To:** Supplier quality report

**Data:** NCR counts, CAPA ageing and reject rates by supplier

**Trigger:** Periodic reporting

## Setup

### Map your current quality records

**Detail:** List inspections, certificates, NCRs and CAPAs you keep today and where they live. Decide what moves into Business One.

### Define inspection templates

**Detail:** Create templates with parameters, limits and methods for each item group.

### Set up certificate of analysis layouts

**Detail:** Match customer-specific CoA formats and include batch, test results and specification.

### Configure NCR and CAPA workflows

**Detail:** Define owners, due dates, severity levels and closure approval.

### Connect to batch and supplier master data

**Detail:** Check that batch numbers and supplier records are consistent so reports group correctly.

### Pilot and compare with legacy records

**Detail:** Run a few lots through the new process and verify that the CoA and NCR outputs match what auditors expect.

## Pitfalls

- CoA templates that do not match a customer's required format are rejected, so collect specimens early.
- NCRs without a linked batch or supplier make supplier quality reporting unreliable.
- CAPA entries left open without owners age silently, so assign owners and due dates at creation.
- Regulated industries need an audit trail and electronic signature discipline. Do not assume the add-on provides compliance on its own.
- Inspection results entered after stock is already shipped break the intended release control.

## Ai Layer

### CAPA ageing digest

**Description:** A private assistant reading the quality records and Business One data can list overdue CAPAs by owner and draft reminder notes for the quality manager.

### NCR root-cause grouping

**Description:** It groups NCR text by supplier, item and failure mode and suggests recurring themes, which the quality team validates before acting.

### CoA draft checks

**Description:** Before a certificate goes out, it compares the test values to the specification and flags missing or out-of-range results.

## Alternatives

- Embee's emQC is another quality add-on for Business One with an inspection-scenario focus.
- A dedicated QMS suits companies that need document control, audits and formal CAPA under ISO 9001 or AS9100.
- Small shops can manage NCRs in a controlled spreadsheet with batch numbers copied from Business One.

## Faq

### Does the add-on produce certificates of analysis?

**Answer:** The vendor lists certificates of analysis among its functions. Request sample certificates and confirm they can be adapted to your customers' formats, including batch references and signature blocks.

### Does it replace a full quality management system?

**Answer:** Not on its own. It handles inspections, NCR and CAPA ageing and supplier reporting. If you need controlled documents, training records or audit management, you may still need a dedicated QMS.

### How do NCRs link to suppliers?

**Answer:** The vendor describes supplier quality reporting, which depends on NCRs being tied to supplier and batch data. Confirm during the demo how the link is created and whether it can be corrected later.

### Where can on-prem AI add value?

**Answer:** An assistant on your own servers can read quality records and Business One history to summarize supplier trends and ageing CAPAs. It drafts suggestions, and quality staff approve changes to any record.
