Minimum Version Required: 22.05

Pre-Conditions

  • Site is a Production site that has Batch Management and Batch Processing turned on (SystemSetting553=True)
    ​
    ​

  • QC Measurements have been set up
    ​
    ​

  • Production Stage Groups have been set up

Steps

1. Navigate to the QC Templates Table
​
2. Select "Add QC Template"
​
3. Name the grouping of QC measurements being built. Example: "Fermentation Logs" or "Brewhouse QC"
​
4. Add Record
​
5. Select the switchboard icon next to the new QC Template to go to QC Template Designer
​
6. In template designer, add in the QC Measurements that will be taken as a part of this QC Template

  • Once a QC has all the QC measurements assigned to it and saved, it can be set on specific ProductionStageTypes.QCTemplates. Once attached to a Production Stage Type, Recipes created with a Stage of that Type will inherit the list of QC Lines from the Template moving forward.
    ​
    ​

NOTE: This will not update any existing Recipes or Production Orders that are currently planned.

Fields And Definitions

  • QC Template: A set of QC Measurements that will apply to a specific set of workflows (Production Stage Types) in Recipes and/orProduction
    ​
    ​

  • QC Lines: A QC Measurement that is a part of a QC Template

Best Practices

  • Set "Is Series"=True for any measurements that need to be taken multiple times
    ​
    ​

  • Set Min/Max Values for QC measurements where a min/max value applies. For Measurements that have different Min/Max Values Recipe to Recipe, leave the Min?Max blank on the QC Template
    ​
    ​

  • Sequencing determines the order by which QC MEasurements will display to an operator when making a QC Log
    ​
    ​

  • Batch QC is set Recipe-by-Recipe in Recipe Manager. Any QC that needs to be logged to the entire batch as opposed to a stage within the batch (Blending, Packaging, etc...) should be aded to the Recipe itself.
