# Execute quality control

Quality Control activities are defined as one or more quality tests that must be completed for a new item lot when it is initially received into inventory. When a new item lot record is created for an item with assigned quality tests, the program automatically generates a Quality Control activity for that item lot.

As Quality Control testing is completed, record test results against the appropriate Quality Control activity. Once all tests for an activity are finished, mark the activity as completed. If you want to re-test an item lot, create another Quality Control activity.

The following table describes a sequence of activities, with links to the topics that describe them. These activities are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
