Maintaining Acceptance Actions for a Material Category

An acceptance action establishes what samples, tests, or field inspections are required for the acceptance and approval of a material or material category. It may include multiple options, each with one or more rate/frequencies, such as one daily work report per contract, or three slumps test per 50 cubic yards installed, or one certification per source used, and so on.

The Acceptance Actions tab on the Material Category Summary component contains a list of all the acceptance actions associated with the material category. All acceptance actions for a material category also apply to materials that are part of that material category.

Each row includes an Actions button and values in these fields:

Click in a field and add, change, or delete information as needed.

To delete an acceptance action, select Delete from the Actions menu on the action row. To reverse the deletion, click the Undo button.

To add a new acceptance action for this material category, click the New button. The system adds a new blank row to the list. To save a new acceptance action, you must enter a value in the Name field.

When you are finished, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.

To view or change additional information about an acceptance action, select Open from the Actions menu on the action row. The Acceptance Action Summary component contains all of the information for an acceptance action. See Maintaining Acceptance Actions.
