SyteLine Quality Management System (QMS) Module Configuration
The Quality Management module in Infor SyteLine provides an integrated QMS framework that connects inspection, non-conformance, corrective action, and statistical process control directly to production and purchasing transactions. Built around the SLQualityResults, SLQualityInspections, and SLQualityNonConformances IDOs, the module eliminates the need for standalone quality software while maintaining traceability from raw material receipt through finished goods shipment.
QMS Module Activation and Parameter Setup
Enable the Quality module on the Quality Parameters form (menu path: Quality > Setup > Quality Parameters) to activate inspection triggers, NCR workflows, and quality hold logic across the SyteLine environment. The parameter configuration defines system-wide quality behaviors including automatic inspection generation, defect code structures, and disposition authority levels.
- Enable the Quality Module flag on the Quality Parameters form to activate quality triggers on receiving, production, and shipping transactions
- Configure defect code hierarchies on the Defect Codes form (menu path: Quality > Setup > Defect Codes) for standardized failure classification across all NCRs
- Set up disposition codes (Accept, Reject, Return, Rework, Scrap, Use-As-Is) on the Disposition Codes form for consistent quality decision recording
- Define quality reason codes on the Reason Codes form to capture root cause categories linked to NCRs and corrective actions
- Configure quality notification email templates in the Workflow Notifications form for automated alerts to quality engineers on inspection failures
Quality Integration with Production and Purchasing
SyteLine's QMS strength lies in its native integration with manufacturing and procurement transactions. Configure inspection triggers on the Items form Quality tab to automatically generate inspection records when PO receipts, job completions, or shipping transactions occur. The SLQualityInspections IDO links quality events to their source transactions for full traceability.
- Set the Incoming Inspection Required flag on the Items form Quality tab to auto-generate inspections on every PO receipt for that item
- Enable In-Process Inspection triggers on job routing operations to create inspection records at configured manufacturing steps
- Configure Final Inspection generation on job completion transactions to verify finished goods before releasing to shipping inventory
- Set up shipping inspection triggers on the CO Shipping form to perform outbound quality checks before customer shipment
- Link inspection results to lot and serial number records in the SLLots and SLSerials tables for full material traceability
Quality Dashboard and Reporting Configuration
Quality metrics require real-time visibility to drive continuous improvement. Configure SyteLine quality reports and Birst dashboards to track first-pass yield, defect rates, inspection cycle times, and cost of quality. The quality reporting framework aggregates data from SLQualityResults, SLQualityNonConformances, and SLQualityCorrectiveActions for comprehensive quality intelligence.
- Configure the Quality Summary Report (menu path: Quality > Reports > Quality Summary) to display inspection pass/fail rates by item, vendor, and work center
- Set up first-pass yield calculations using SLQualityResults data grouped by production line, shift, and product family for trend analysis
- Build cost of quality reports aggregating scrap, rework, inspection, and warranty costs from quality transaction records
- Enable Birst quality dashboards using the CloudSuite Industrial quality content pack for executive-level quality KPI visibility
