This section describes how scores are calculated by the system for the automatic subcriterion "Quality Inspection".

The score is calculated as follows:

1. If a material is subject to incoming inspection, part of the delivered material is checked by the quality assurance department when goods are received against a purchase order.
2. An inspection lot is created. After the inspection or testing, the person responsible in Quality Management then enters a result and makes a decision as to whether the material can be used.
3. All the incoming inspection lots are stored in a file with their scores.
4. When you run an automatic re-evaluation for a vendor, the system selects all the incoming inspection lots for the vendor that lie within the validity period and calculates the average of the scores.
   The result is the vendor's score for the quality of goods received.
