Warehouse Inspections (whinh2131m100)

 

Planned Date
The planned inspection date is based on the planned delivery date of the outbound order line for outbound inspections, and on the actual receipt date of the originating order added with the allowed inspection time for inbound inspections. The allowed inspection time is specified in the Allowed Inbound Inspection Time field of the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.
Inspection
The inspection number generated by LN.

For each new inspection header, an inspection number is created.

Inspection Sequence
The sequence number of the inbound or outbound inspection. You can carry out several inspections for each receipt, storage list, inbound or outbound advice, or picking list. Each time you have processed a certain quantity of items for the inspection, a new inspection sequence is created for the remaining quantity to be inspected. For each new sequence, the sequence number of the inspection is increased with 1.
Inspection Status
The status of the inspection. Warehouse Inspection Status
Line
The inspection line created for the inspected stock point detail.
Item
The raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, and sold.

An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or which exist in multiple product variants.

You can also define nonphysical items, which are not retained in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The examples of nonphysical items:

  • Cost items (for example, electricity)
  • Service items
  • Subcontracting services
  • List items (menus/options)

The inspected quantity that is put away.

The approved quantity is put away in inventory. The rejected quantity is put away in the reject location.

Direct Material Supply Quantity Executed

Lot
A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods.

Low volume lot-numbers originate from the receipt line or the inbound advice for inbound inspection lines and from the outbound advice for outbound inspection lines. If the inspection line is created for a handling unit, the lot number is taken from the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session.

High volume lot-numbers originate from the Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000) session for inbound inspection lines and the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) for outbound inspection lines. If the inspection line is created for a handling unit, the lot number is taken from the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session.

If not present for outbound inspection lines that are not yet processed, you can register the lot numbers in this session, but you can also register the lot numbers in the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) after processing the inspection line. For handling units, you can register lot numbers in the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session.

Serial Number
The unique identification of a single physical item. LN uses a mask to generate the serial number. The serial number can consist of multiple data segments that represent, for example, a date, model and color information, sequence number, and so on.

Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools.

Low-volume scenario serial-numbers originate from the receipt line or the inbound advice for inbound inspection lines and from the outbound advice for outbound inspection lines. If the inspection line is created for a handling unit, the serial number is taken from the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) session.

High-volume scenario serial-numbers originate from the Receipt Line Lots and Serials (whinh3123m000) session for inbound inspection lines and the Outbound Advice Lots and Serials (whinh4126m000) for outbound inspection lines. If the inspection line is created for a handling unit, the serial number is taken from the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session.

If not present for outbound inspection lines that are not yet processed, you can register the serial numbers in this session, but you can also register the serial numbers in the Shipment Line Stock Point Details (whinh4133m000) after processing the inspection line. For handling units, you can register serial numbers in the Handling Unit Stock Point Details (whwmd5136m000) session.

  • If the Sold-to Business Partner field is empty, LN uses the Reference field to record an internal reference.

You can use a reference code to keep a collection of parts linked together, even if they follow different routings, for example, if some of the parts are transported to a subcontractor to be returned later.
