Overview of Collection Elements
In Oracle Quality, collection elements represent the basic data that must be collected and analyzed. In general, collection elements are used to do the following:
- identify the object you are collecting information about; for example, a unique lot or serial number
- provide reference information about the quality collection; for example, operation sequence, purchase order number, or transaction date
- provide cross-reference information for analysis; for example, supplier, customer, or department
- represent a quality characteristic; for example, voltage, viscosity, defect code, or symptom
You can define as many collection elements, sharable across the various organizations defined in Oracle Manufacturing, as required. See: Defining Organization Access.
Oracle Quality also provides several predefined collection elements for your convenience. See: Reference Information Collection Elements.
