QC Parameter Version Control Entry

This option maintains QC Plan for the item by specifying its Control Parameters. Values of Sample Size, Maximum Limit and Minimum Limit of each Parameter are also maintained.

Further, while entering QC details against a GRN, observations related to each QC Parameter of an Item can be entered. But practically, it may happen that the QC Parameters of the same Item may differ from transaction to transaction.

In order to facilitate this unique requirement, IMMS provides an important facility of Version Control. Through this feature, multiple set of QC Parameters can be maintained for an Item and each set is given a unique Version Control Number. Therefore while entering QC details against a GRN, IMMS will provide the QC Parameters of an Item belonging to the latest Version Control Number but at the same time it also maintains the data belonging to the previous Version Control Numbers.

A list of all Items along with their Version Control Numbers will be displayed as follows -
