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 before releasing the item into inventory.

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

• Osmophilic Yeast & Mold
• Temperature

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

2. Click New.

3. Add the following records:

   Code	Description	Default Quality UOM	Value Type
   OSMO Y&M	Osmophlilic Yeast & Mold	CFU/G	Decimal
   TEMP	Temperature (degrees F)	F	Decimal




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 a warehouse receipt is generated, the quality procedure is used to create a quality audit related to the item on the warehouse receipt.
