Approving and Rejecting Inspected Items (Approvals)

Approvals is a transaction belonging to the Inbound Transactions Sub-Menu on the Warehouse Mobility icon based and list based menus.

On the Inbound Transactions Sub-Menu:

  1. Select Approvals.
  2. Specify this information:
    Order Type
    Specify an order type.
    Warehouse
    Specify the warehouse in which the item will be inspected.
    Order Number
    Scan the order number.
    Item Number
    Optionally, to show only lines containing a certain item, scan the item number. Leave blank to show all lines awaiting inspection.
  3. Press Enter. The list of lines awaiting inspection is displayed.
  4. Scan an item to inspect.
  5. If you are inspecting a parent handling unit, you must either approve or reject the entire handling unit structure, including its children. Specify this information:
    Approved Quantity
    Specify the quantity of items to approve. Include destroyed items in this quantity, unless they failed inspection, and you are rejecting them.
    Quantity Rejected
    Specify the quantity of items to reject.
    Reason Code
    If you reject any items, specify a reason code for the rejections.
    Quantity Destroyed
    Specify the quantity of items that were destroyed. Only approved items can be destroyed, so the destroyed quantity must be equal to or less than the approved quantity.
    Reason Code
    If you destroy any items, specify a reason code for the destruction. This field is only displayed if a quantity above zero is specified in the Quantity Destroyed field.
    Scrap Quantity
    If applicable, specify the quantity of rejected items to scrap. Any rejected items that are not scrapped will be quarantined. This field is only displayed if you are rejecting items and if the item is designated for scrap, quarantine, or both in Infor LN.
    Reason Code
    If applicable, specify a reason code for the items scrapped. This field is only displayed if a quantity above zero is specified in the Scrap Quantity field.
  6. Select Process. If the item is serialized, the Serial Entry screen is displayed. If you scanned the serial number as the reference ID, or the item is part of a handling unit, you do not need to scan serial numbers, so the Serial Entry screen will not display.
    1. If the Serial Entry screen is displayed, scan each serial number.
    2. Specify or review this information:
      Action
      Specify whether the scanned serial number is approved (A), rejected (R), or destroyed (D).
      Quantity Remaining
      The number of serial number you have scanned is displayed. Optionally, press X to view serial numbers you have scanned. If you scan a serial number incorrectly, you can press Y to delete all scanned serial numbers within the current transaction. The Quantity Remaining field resets, and you can then scan the correct serial numbers.
  7. If you are asked to cross dock the items, and you wish to cross dock, see Cross Docking Items. To skip cross docking, specify No.
  8. If prompted, specify a putaway location in the Actual Location field.
  9. If applicable, print labels. If this transaction is configured to print labels, labels are automatically printed or the Label Printing screen is opened. To print labels using the Label Printing screen, see Printing Labels.
