QMS Audit Pro (LQAPS) - FAQ

QMS Audit Pro (LQAPS)

Integration with ERP or Supply Chain Software

If you have an existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) system or supply chain management software, QMS Audit Pro (LQAPS) integrates with it. Presently QMS Audit Pro (LQAPS) has integration with SAP ERP.  Integration with ERP helps in maintaining consistency across all platforms and prevents duplicate data entry. 

Any customer system that is capable of exporting information in an ASCII format or JSON API may be interfaced with LQAPS. The automated export of information from a customer in-house system provides a periodic stream of data used by our systems. However, no physical connection is made between the in-house information system and the LQPS database. This one-way flow of information insures that data integrity and synchronization always exists between both systems.

Participation report for the date of Sunday 1/9 to see QA inspection participation last week shows zero participation when I ran the report. Inspections date is 1/3 Monday.

Inspection Data was entered on 01/10/2022. In future release of reporting will show date entered details to provide more clarity.

Can you explain how the healthcare audits are currently displaying on the participation report? I have a location who completed an audit on Monday that now does not show as completed for the week.

For super category, Start Date will be calculated based End date so if you run today (as per below screenshot), for a super category Date range will be from 02/01/2022 to 02/02/2022 and an inspection category date range will be from Monday 1/31/2022 to 02/02/2022. When you had run the report on Monday 01/31/2022 for a super category date would be 01/01/2022 to 01/31/2022 and that’s why you were seeing the Healthcare entries.

Why new admin isn't able to select any locations past certain location in either the participant dashboard or under search in inspections?

He is not able to see any location past certain location because, he doesn’t have permission to view other locations. You just have to give the permission to all the locations where he needs access to view data.

I have a location in that as far as I can tell should not have been set up. That said, there are inspections that were previously entered for this location. If the location is removed in the system, will the history of the inspections still be retained?

We don’t delete any inspections if location has been deleted, the only time inspection will be deleted if you exclusively click on a delete (red x button, next to edit) button of an inspection.

When I go into edit in the inspection and hit save, it isn’t actually saving my edits. Instead it’s saving a duplicate of that inspection.

As per rule if someone want to edit any inspections then it should be edited by only same user who has entered the inspection. If different user is trying to edit, then it will treat as a new inspection. In future best way to handle this scenario would be delete existing inspection and add new one if for some reason same user can’t edit.

Category Out-of-compliance Automated Email

For each super category, admin users can establish compliance criteria for number of inspection for specific time period (Weekly or Monthly) using “Category Maintenance”.

Email text can be edited using Online Word Editor in “Category Maintenance”. Automated email is generated when location doesn’t complete number of inspections for given period. Recipients for the out-of-compliance Email address can be added/updated under Location Report in the maintenance.
