# Log a quality defect (/learn/log-a-quality-defect)



<Callout title="By the end of this chapter">
  The order closed with good vs reject recorded, visible by product.
</Callout>

When an order finishes production it moves to **awaiting QA**. A quality reviewer confirms how much was actually good, records any rejects against a defect code, and signs the order off. This closes the loop and feeds your quality reporting — all without machine data.

**Role needed:** production QA.

## Steps [#steps]

1. In the sidebar, open **Quality**. Completed orders waiting for sign-off appear in the **Awaiting QA** queue.
2. Open the order you want to verify.
3. Enter the verified quantities:
   * **Final** — the total produced.
   * **Good** — units that passed.
   * **Rejected** — units that failed.
4. For rejects, pick a **defect code** so the reason is captured (codes are managed under **Settings → Defect Codes**).
5. Click **Verify** to sign the order off. It moves to **completed / closed**.

<Callout type="info">
  Good + rejected should add up to the final quantity. The quality rate (good ÷ final) flows straight into the Production Summary and Product Performance reports — no extra data entry.
</Callout>

## Where it shows up [#where-it-shows-up]

* **Product Performance** report — quality rate and reject trend per product.
* **Order Interruptions** report — pauses and cancellations by reason.

Both are available on the lite plan because they're built from order and quality data, not machine telemetry.
