Maintaining Acceptance Actions for an Item Family

An acceptance action establishes what samples, tests, or field inspections are required for the acceptance and approval of an item or item family.

• Note: Item Family Acceptance Actions currently lack functionality. While acceptance actions can be maintained for item families, they play no part in the evaluation of material sufficiency on contracts.

The Acceptance Actions tab on the Item Family Summary component contains a list of all the acceptance actions for the item family. All acceptance actions for an item family also apply to items that are part of that item family. 

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

• Name

• Description

• Effective Date

• Expiration Date

• Status

• Eval Method

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. The system shades the row gray to indicate it is marked for deletion. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button.

To add a new acceptance action for this item family, 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. Enter values in other fields as needed.

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.
