Lab Master Data
- Article: Version management, rights-dependent release
- Test specifications: OOS and OOT limits, test period, test costs and analysis price can be specified for each article-specific test characteristic
- Test scope can be specified for each article (test object), depending on the type and time of the test.

Specification of test characteristics
Lab Processing
- Automatic generation of test orders for incoming samples and sample distribution to predefined warehouses
- Preliminary generation of test orders for stability tests
- Rights-dependent processing of test steps
- Configuration of auto-repeat for test steps whenever an OOS result shows altered tolerances
- Rights-dependent release of test results.

Computer-aided processing of test orders
Maintenance and Calibration of Test Equipment
- Rights-dependent management of test equipment and other resources
- Explicit release of a given resource prior to its use as test equipment
- Definition of any number of maintenance characteristics per maintenance type for a given resource
- Definition of standard costs, standard duration, tolerance limits, and precision units maintenance characteristics
- Definition of any number of maintenance plans for each resource
- Computer-aided processing of maintenance orders.
Materials Handling and Inventory Management
- Differentiated warehouse and storage location management
- Rights-dependent release of storage locations
- Configure any number of storage conditions
- Information on warehouse inventory and warehouse stock movements
