Quality capabilities
Make quality decisions visible and traceable
Standardise checks and preserve the evidence behind acceptance, rejection, rework and release decisions. Available workflows depend on your configured modules and procedures.
📥
Incoming quality
Check received materials before they are released for use.
- Supplier and purchase-receipt references
- Accepted, rejected or quarantined quantities
- Supplier issue history
⚙
In-process inspections
Record checks during production and at defined operations.
- Work-order and operation references
- Measured results and operator notes
- Hold points and rework routing
✓
Final inspection & release
Document product checks before finished goods are released.
- Pass, fail and conditional disposition
- Release authority and timestamps
- Link to finished-goods status
⌁
Non-conformance management
Capture deviations and control the affected material or product.
- Issue classification and root-cause notes
- Containment, hold and disposition
- Rework, return or scrap decisions
↻
Corrective & preventive actions
Assign follow-up actions and review whether the problem was resolved.
- Action owner and due date
- Evidence and effectiveness review
- Escalation for overdue actions
Quality workflow
From inspection to verified resolution
Quality control should do more than record a pass or fail. It should identify affected stock, assign responsibility, preserve evidence and verify that corrective action is effective.
01
Define the inspectionChoose the applicable specification, checkpoints, acceptance limits and sampling rules.
02
Capture results and evidenceRecord measurements, observations, attachments and the source transaction or batch.
03
Control affected materialPlace items on hold or quarantine when required and prevent unintended use or release.
04
Investigate and assign actionsDocument the issue, containment, root-cause analysis and responsible action owners.
05
Verify and closeReview disposition, corrective evidence and effectiveness before closing the quality record.

Frequently asked questions
Quality management FAQs
Questions to consider when configuring quality processes in an ERP environment.
Can quality inspections be performed at multiple stages?
Workflows can be designed for incoming materials, in-process operations and finished goods. Inspection triggers, sampling, required results and approval rules should be confirmed during configuration.
Can failed inspections prevent stock from being used?
A properly configured process can place affected material on hold or in quarantine and restrict subsequent transactions. Verify that inventory status controls are enforced across all relevant workflows.
Can we manage supplier and production defects?
Non-conformance records can reference suppliers, receipts, batches, production orders or operations. Root-cause analysis, containment and corrective-action responsibilities should be defined by your quality procedure.
Can corrective actions be tracked to completion?
Action records can include owners, due dates, evidence and an effectiveness review. Automated notifications or escalation require the relevant workflow and notification configuration.
Does LaraOffice guarantee ISO or regulatory certification?
No. Software alone does not guarantee certification or regulatory compliance. Validate your procedures, evidence, controls, training and system configuration against the standards and rules applicable to your organisation.
