# Quality control samples

During Quality Control, a quality assurance/quality control employee takes a sample from inventory to test (also known as a destructive probe). Because this sample has a value, a write-off from inventory is required. A warehouse employee can do this, but it takes extra time and effort.

The Quality Control sample feature lets the Quality Control employee write off the sample directly during their 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.
