How to specify inspection results and process warehousing inspections

For both inbound and outbound inspections, first specify the inspection results and then process the inspection, which finalizes the inspection.

Specifying the inspection results for an inbound inspection entails approving, rejecting, destroying, or scrapping the inspected items. For an outbound inspection, this entails approving, rejecting, or scrapping the inspected items.

To process one or more inbound or outbound warehouse inspections without specifying approved or rejected quantities:

  1. Select the inspection or inspections in the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session.

  2. From appropriate menu, select:

You cannot destroy and process one or more inbound inspections without specifying the item quantities. To specify that all of the items of an inbound inspection are destroyed, for each inspection line of the inspection you must specify the total item quantities in the Destroyed Quantity field in the Inspection Lines (whinh2131m000) session. See step 3 below.

To handle an inbound or outbound warehouse inspection:

  1. Look up the inspection in the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session.
  2. In the Warehouse Inspections (whinh3122m000) session, double-click the inspection.
  3. In the Warehouse Inspection (whinh3622m000) session that opens, in the Inspection Result tab, specify the approved, rejected, or (inbound only) destroyed quantities.
  4. Optionally, double-click the inspection line to open the Inspection Lines (whinh2131m000) session to specify additional data such as inspection text in the Attachments tab.
  5. Repeat previous two steps for any other inspection lines.
  6. Save the inspection lines.
  7. Click Process in the toolbar of the Warehouse Inspection (whinh3622m000) session to process the inspection.
Handling units

If the inspected quantities are contained in handling units, you can only process the warehouse inspection if the approved, rejected, or destroyed quantities of the handling unit or handling unit structure and the inspection line quantities match.

Partial inspections

If you process an inspection that has items not yet approved, rejected, or (inbound only) destroyed, LN creates a new inspection sequence for these items.

In Process

An inspection automatically obtains the In Process status after approving, rejecting, or (only inbound inspections) destroying one or more of the items of an inspection. LN cannot add inspection lines to inspections that are In Process. If an inspection is open, LN can add new inspection lines to the inspection. This happens, for example, if the receipt lines of a receipt are confirmed at different moments. LN creates an inspection when the first receipt line is confirmed, and adds new inspection lines when the subsequent receipt lines are confirmed, provided that the inspection is not set in process or has been processed in the meantime.

You can manually set an open inspection or inspection line to In Process to prevent additional inspection lines to be added to the inspection or inspection line. This can be useful if you want to set the inspection apart for more detailed handling.

If Quality is implemented, you can trigger the creation of the corresponding order inspection if you set the inspection to In Process.
