The unquality event tracking program uses parameters to detect events that cause a loss of service to your customer or a loss of profit to your distribution business. Set different levels of unquality event detection for sales, purchasing, and branch transfers. The following table describes the parameters you can set:
Parameter |
Description |
Early/Late Days Allowed |
Use to determine when the system records an unquality event for early or late shipments. |
Under/Over Quantities |
Use to determine when the system records an unquality event for shipped or received quantities that are over or under the ordered quantities. |
Under/Over Percentages |
Use to determine when the system records a unquality event for shipped or received percentages that are over or under the ordered percentages. |
You can set default parameters for the system and override parameters for buy lines, products, customers, and vendors.
System-level default parameters have the lowest priority.
Customer or vendor parameters override system parameters.
In Customer and Vendor Maintenance, you can only set Early Days Allowed and Late Days Allowed parameters.
Buy line parameters override system and customer or vendor parameters.
Product parameters override system, buy line, and customer or vendor parameters.
To set UET parameters:
Display the UET Parameter Maintenance window in one of the following ways:
To set system-level default parameters for the system, select UET Parameter Maintenance from the Events > Unquality Event Tracking menu.
To set override parameters for a buy line, select Information > UET Parameters from the Buy Line Maintenance window.
To set override parameters for a product, select File > UET from the Product Maintenance window.
