Specification Contexts
Specification context records let the quality administrator decide when NetSuite should use a specification. These fields help the Quality Management SuiteApp monitor the right transaction type and match transaction details to context settings. When there's a match, all inspections on the context record are added to the inspection queue to start shop floor activity.
A specification is only triggered when there's an active matching context record and the specification is active.
Context records work with these transaction types:
-
Item Receipt - to monitor inbound item receipts.
-
Assembly / Work Order Build - to monitor non-work center production activities.
-
Work Order Completion - to monitor work center specific production activities.
-
API - to trigger the Quality Inspection Queue for any transaction type NetSuite supports.
-
Item Fulfillment - to monitor outbound item receipts from Sale Orders, Transfer Orders, and Vendor Returns.
-
Production Result - to monitor production activities reported through the Advanced Manufacturing SuiteApp.
