Quality Dimension	How QC will carried out
Individual	If Quality dimension is Individual items will undergo quality testing/checks for every unit
Sample	If Quality dimension is sample at product level these items will undergo sampling basis
Manual Approval	No specific quality inspection is needed, however, someone from quality team will manually have to mark as inspection pass
NA	If Quality dimension is NA at product level items will undergo can be directly consumed without any quality checks
