Non-Conformance Codes

Non-conformance codes can be used to identify the various issues encountered within a business environment that lead to exceptions of stated quality procedures. When the Quality Application is available, non-conformance codes are associated with inspections and subsequent non-conformance records that are used to indicate the nature of the problem and the appropriate disposition of the issue.

For information about the Quality Application, please contact sales at 1-800 525 2143.

ClosedRecord Header - Non-Conformance Codes

The Record Header located at the top of the page indicates which specific record has been selected and for what purpose (new, edit, quick view) and displays record specific Action Buttons (discussed below.)

For more information see User Interface.

Action Buttons
Save (button)

This button is used to close the record and save any changes that have been made while it was open. In addition, the dropdown button allows you to Save and:

  • Close - close the open record.
  • New - open a new blank record.
  • Print - print any of the reports related to the open record.
Cancel (button)

This button is used to close the record without saving any changes that may have been made while it was open. If this button is used after a change has been made to the record, the system prompts to verify whether the record should be closed without saving the changes.

Answering "Yes" to the prompt closes the record without saving the changes.

Answering "No" to the prompt leaves the record open.
