Quality Assurance Setup and Configuration

Before beginning the Quality Assurance Process, administrators must set up the security, authorization, and configurations.

The following is the basic life cycle of the Quality Assurance Process, particularly the setup and configuration:

• The listed switches configure some of the most broad features that affect Quality Assurance management. For more information, refer to the following switches:
  • AUDITDPT
  • AUDITREVIEWTAB
  • QASICACCA
  • SENDAUDA
• The following Transaction Codes in particular must be set up for the Quality Assurance Process:
  • Audit Type
  • Finding Level

Note: Other Switches and Tran Codes that affect the Quality Assurance Process will be mentioned throughout this process. For more information on all switches, refer to the Quality Assurance Switches Manual.

• Depending on the user's company's operating procedures, the Quality Assurance module can have Authorization steps set up for the Audits to be conducted. For more information, refer to the Authorization Process, which is utilized through the 'Audit Type' Tran Code.
• Many of the features of the Quality Assurance Process are Security controlled, this only allowing certain steps of the process to be completed by users with access. Some of the more notable tabs/fields/functions that are Security controlled include the following:
  • Quality Assurance / Update / Audit Creation/Following / Audit Control - Various Types of Audits can be Accessed/Restricted
  • Quality Assurance / Update / Audit Creation/Following / Auditor Tab - Various fields can be Accessed/Restricted
  • Quality Assurance / Update / Audit Creation/Following / Authorization of Audit
  • Quality Assurance / Update / Audit Creation/Following / Manager Extension
  • Quality Assurance / Update / Audit Creation/Following / Manager of Quality Audit
  • Quality Assurance / Update / Q/A Request Creation/Following / Authorization

Once all of these configurations have been set up, users can begin the Quality Assurance Process, which starts with the Audit Requirement Creation.
