ERPNext Quality Module
What the ERPNext quality module gives you
Quality inspections
Incoming, in-process and final inspections triggered automatically by receipts and work orders.
Inspection templates
Reusable parameter sets with numeric ranges and accept/reject criteria per item.
Stock holds until pass
Failed lots stay unavailable for use or dispatch until quality clears them — no overrides by habit.
Quality goals & procedures
Document SOPs and measurable goals, and review them on a fixed cadence.
Non-conformance & CAPA
Log deviations, assign corrective and preventive actions and track them to closure.
Quality analytics
Rejection rates by supplier, item and workstation reveal where defects actually start.

How ERPNext quality works in practice
A purchase receipt for a QC-flagged item opens an inspection with the right template attached; readings go in, the verdict posts, and only accepted quantity becomes usable stock. The same gate guards production stages and pre-dispatch checks. When a lot fails, a non-conformance opens with the evidence already linked, and the corrective action it spawns has an owner and a due date — so audits become a walk through records that already exist.
Quality that manufacturing actually uses
Because checks live inside manufacturing and inventory flows, compliance happens in the line of work, not in a parallel binder. See the ERPNext platform, our manufacturing solution, or the official ERPNext documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Can ERPNext quality block failed stock?
Yes — rejected quantities are kept out of usable stock automatically until quality explicitly clears them.
Does it support supplier quality tracking?
Inspection results accumulate per supplier, feeding scorecards and purchase decisions with real defect data.
Is it enough for ISO audits?
Inspections, NCs, CAPAs and reviews leave timestamped trails that map cleanly to ISO 9001 evidence requirements.
