first article only once globally

[Former Member]

Hi,

    I have vendors who supply the same material to various plants. Is there a way I can have a first article only once, the first time the material is received from the vendor so that the second receipt if it happens in a different plant does not have to go thru another first article. We are not using first article via QIR status profiles but rather via a QC MIC in the inspection plan with one plan per plant fro receiving.

Thanks

No standard way to inspect independently of plant.

All kinds of inspection should be managed and performed within a plant.

I think the only way is using the enhancement QAAT0001.
