The quality measure codes represent the different ways of recording the quality of an item. Quality measure codes need to be created for each of the conditions that need to be checked or tested.

For the JF company, that means that quality measure codes need to be created for the following:

• Package check
• Net weight
• Metal detection

1. In the Search box, enter quality measure, and select Quality Measure Codes.

2. Click New.

3. Add the following records:

   Code	Description	Value Type
   METAL DETECTOR	Metal Detector	Boolean
   NET WEIGHT	Net Weight	Decimal
   PKG CHECK	Package Check	Boolean




4. Click OK.

A quality procedure groups quality measure codes, and allows you to record the desired test results. The quality procedure can then be assigned to an item. When an item is manufactured or output, the quality procedure is used to create a quality audit related to the manufactured item.

For the JF company, a Yogies 12/7.5 OZ-FG Check quality procedure is being created. This quality procedure will be used to generate a quality audit that will check a case of Yogies items. The case contains twelve 7.5OZ packages of Yogies.
