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.
