Serial registration for inspection handling units

For each high volume serialized item that requires inspection, and each low volume serialized item if the Consolidate Stock Points in one Warehouse Inspection check box is selected, LN creates a separate inspection line. If handling units are present for such inspection lines and you specify inspection results for these handling units, LN updates the inspection results on the inspection lines.

However, if no serial numbers are present for the handling units, LN cannot determine the inspection lines on which to update the inspection results in situations as described in the following examples. In such cases, a message is displayed prompting you to register the serials before entering the inspection results.

Example

Inspection INS00001 has the following inspection lines:

Inspection Line	Serial	Approved	Destroyed	Rejected
1	S1	0	0	0
2	S2	0	0	0
3	S3	0	0	0
4	S4	0	0	0
5	S5	0	0	0
6	S6	0	0	0

Each inspection line has 1 high volume serialized item. For INS00001 handling unit HU001 is present, which has two child handling units: HU002 and HU003, each of which contain 3 serialized items. If you decide to reject HU002 entirely, LN cannot determine to which inspection lines the rejected items must be updated. Therefore, you must first register the serial numbers for HU002.

If you generate serials S1, S2, and S3 for HU002 and then reject these items for HU002, LN updates the inspection lines as follows:

Inspection Line	Serial	Rejected
1	S1	1
2	S2	1
3	S3	1
4	S4	0
5	S5	0
6	S6	0

If you then decide to approve HU003 entirely, registering the serial numbers for HU003 is not required, because LN can determine that all of the remaining inspection lines must be approved. When you process the inspection, inspection lines 4, 5, and 6 will be updated:

Inspection Line	Serial	Approved	Rejected
1	S1	0	1
2	S2	0	1
3	S3	0	1
4	S4	1	0
5	S5	1	0
6	S6	1	0

Example

Inspection INS00002 has the following inspection lines:

Inspection Line	Lot	Serial
1	L1	S1
2	L1	S2
3	L1	S3
4	L2	S4
5	L2	S5
6	L2	S6

Each inspection line has 1 item which is high volume serialized and low volume lot controlled. For INS00002 handling unit HU004 is present, which has two child handling units: HU005 and HU006.

HU005 contains lot L1 with 3 serialized items, HU006 contains lot L2, also with 3 serialized items.

If you approve HU005 entirely and reject one item of HU006, LN cannot determine to which inspection lines the approved and rejected items must be updated. Therefore, you must first register the serial numbers for HU005 and HU006. If you then approve HU005 and reject S in HU006, you cannot process INS00002, because in HU006 there are still two items without inspection results. Processing an inspection is not allowed if one of its bottom level handling units has a quantity not approved, rejected, or destroyed.
