UET Code Maintenance Overview

Unquality event codes are the foundation of the UET system and are stored in the UET Code Table. The UET Code Table is initialized with over 400 codes, each of which identifies an unquality event. The information stored in the table for each unquality event code indicates the associated category, type, automatic group code, and cost.

The last column of the table displays the event correction costs (in dollars) for each unquality event code. You can use the default costs or modify them to reflect the actual operating expenses you encounter to correct the faulty processes detected by the denoted UET codes. Use this feature to determine the actual cost to correct an unquality event in the business process and its effect on the bottom-line profit.

All unquality events occur in one of three business segments or categories: Customer, Internal, or Vendor. Every event code includes a prefix (C, I, or V) and four digits. Each event code also has a description attached to it. For example:

Code	Description
C2510	Under Shipped to Customer
C3115	Customer Ordered Wrong Item
I6725	Item Stocked in Wrong Bin Location
V0315	Over Received from Vendor

Automatic Group Codes

The system is programmed to test, detect, and record over 20 types of unquality situations as they occur. For example, when a vendor over or under ships material to your warehouse, the system recognizes this as an unquality event.

If automatic event tracking is enabled, the automatic group codes are assigned to unquality event codes , and you enter a transaction that generates an unquality event, the system automatically creates an unquality event log entry.

To implement the automatic feature of UET, do the following:

Set the Auto UET Enabled control maintenance record to Yes.
Ensure that each automatic group code you want to use is assigned to one or more unquality event code in UET Code Maintenance. The table contains default assignments for each automatic group code, but you can modify the default assignments to better suit your company's needs.

When you enter a transaction that generates an unquality event, the system automatically creates an unquality event log entry in one of the following ways:

If you assign an automatic group code to...	Then the program...
just one event code	creates a unquality event log entry using that unquality event code.
more than one event code	displays a window listing all the event codes assigned to that automatic group, so the user can select the code from the list.
