How to Enforce Controls on QuickBooks Inventory

Inventory is your most valuable asset. DataNinja lets you place automated controls to enforce proper inventory usage

Level of Rigor

Level of Rigor refers to the configurable escalation settings in DataNinja. You can choose how aggressive you need DataNinja to monitor inventory controls. Is it ok to ship orders for materials that have not received approval via signature? If a user makes a mistake, do you want the system to halt them immediately or require a yellow escalation alert to be created?

There are four tiers of alert settings

Always allowed, Yellow escalation, Red Escalation, Never Allowed

Level of Rigor controls continuously monitor:

• Use of Expired Inventory
• Use of Non Released Inventory (See Quality Control)
• Driving Inventory Negative
• Zero Yield Production Run
• Using Non-Validated Equipment
• Trackable Attributes outside of threshold
• Inspection Attributes outside of threshold limits
• Mixing Part Lot Numbers during a production run
• Inventory variances outside of boundaries.

FIFO - First In First Out
FEFO - First Expiration First Out

Quality Control Status

You can adjust the quality status of inventory batches using an Incoming Inspection workflow

By Default, items received into inventory enter as RELEASED. If a specific Part requires a quality inspection before approval for usage, you can setup an Incoming Inspection workflow and the Inventory will enter inventory with a status of AWAITINGINSPECTION.

The following inventory statuses can be assigned to any batch or sublot tracked barcode id.

• Released
• Pending
• AwaitingInspection
• Received
• In Process
• Failed
• Scrapped
• AwatingApprovals
