# Quality Clauses

Quality Clauses define the quality and compliance requirements that apply to RFQs and purchase orders. Each clause includes a unique code, title, and description, and can be tailored to your organization's standards.

* **Relevant clauses automatically appear on both RFQs and POs**, ensuring suppliers see all applicable requirements up front—no surprises after award.
* Clauses can include inspection requirements, documentation needs (e.g. Certificate of Conformance), or other quality instructions.

## Managing Clauses

* Click **Create Quality Clause** to add a new clause, or click the vertical three dots on a quality clause to edit that quality clause.
* Each clause must have a **unique code** (e.g. QC-001) and title.
* Clauses can be **edited or archived** as your requirements evolve.

Quality Clauses can also be used to flow down end-customer requirements to suppliers, such as DFARS requirements or DPAS ratings.
