NetSuite quality management, from incoming inspection to shipment.
S4 Advanced Quality Management is a quality management solution developed by S4 Consulting and built directly into Oracle NetSuite. It connects QC inspections with purchasing, inventory and manufacturing, helping businesses control product quality by lot, manage non-conformances and monitor quality costs within one ERP system.

Why it matters
Why should quality management be integrated into your ERP?
Many businesses manage purchasing, inventory and manufacturing in Oracle NetSuite while still relying on spreadsheets or separate tools for quality control. When QC records are disconnected from inventory transactions, businesses face four common challenges.
Uninspected inventory
Newly received materials may become available for production or shipment before QC has completed its inspection.
Limited traceability
Inspection results, certificates and supporting documents are scattered across different files, making it difficult to trace lots and identify the causes of quality issues.
Disconnected non-conformance handling
Decisions to return, scrap, rework or accept defective goods are not consistently linked to inventory and accounting transactions.
Limited quality cost visibility
Management lacks consolidated data on pass rates, supplier performance and quality failure costs to support improvement decisions.

Quality control workflow
How does NetSuite quality management control each lot?
Receiving
When an Item Receipt is created, the system generates inspection records based on the applicable quality plan and moves the lot to inspection status.
Inspection
QC staff record results against each inspection criterion, attach photos and certificates on a computer, tablet or mobile device.
Disposition
QC supervisors accept, conditionally accept, partially accept or reject the lot, with corresponding inventory status updates.
Non-conformance
Rejected quantities are recorded in NCRs, with corrective actions tracked through CAPA and supplier corrective requests through SCAR.
Manufacturing
Quality checks at designated production stages, on finished goods and during scheduled periodic re-inspections.
Shipping
Outgoing inspection before Item Fulfillment is completed, with inspection reports and Certificates of Analysis (COA) for customers.
Inventory quality control
Keep uninspected goods on hold until a decision is made.
The system generates inspection records from receiving transactions based on quality groups and inspection plans. Inventory is moved to an inspection status, so warehouse teams can distinguish newly received goods from QC-approved stock. Inspection plans support qualitative and quantitative criteria, acceptance limits and sampling methods.

Inspection and disposition
Connect QC results directly to inventory status.
QC staff inspect on computers, tablets or mobile devices, recording results against each criterion and attaching supporting documents. Supervisors review the results and make disposition decisions, with inventory quantities and statuses updated according to the approved outcome.

Non-conformance management
Track NCRs from defect identification to resolution.
NCRs record non-conforming quantities and organize disposition options such as supplier returns, scrapping, rework, sorting or conditional acceptance. CAPA supports root cause analysis and corrective and preventive actions, while SCAR manages corrective action requests to suppliers. Customer complaints can be recorded within the same process.

Quality analytics
Turn inspection data into management insights.
Dashboards show first-pass yield, pending inspections, open NCRs and quality costs. The solution supports SPC analysis, Cp and Cpk process capability indicators, and supplier evaluation based on lot acceptance rates, PPM and NCR history. Inspection reports, COAs and NCRs can be generated as bilingual Vietnamese-English PDF files.
