Keys and references

Use the inspection number and subject reference to distinguish reviewed scopes. A production inspection lots record stores the work order reference, product code and lot number as text, with its operational record pointing to Inspections. Defect observations.Lot points to that saved lot. Inspection checks.Inspection and Nonconformances.Inspection lead to the same quality decision. Corrective actions.Nonconformance keeps later work tied to the issue. Audit findings.Audit and training acknowledgments.Document preserve their parent histories.

Migration order

  1. Import Users and People so assignments resolve.
  2. Import controlled documents and Audits, then their training acknowledgments and audit findings.
  3. Import Inspections, then inspection checks and production inspection lots.
  4. Import defect observations and Nonconformances once their parent references exist.
  5. Import corrective actions against the correct Nonconformances and owners.
