Warehouse Inspections (whinh2131m100)

Use this session to view and maintain inbound and outbound inspection lines.

 

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 order lines are grouped if the following attributes match:

  • Ship-from partner
  • Ship-to partner
  • Ship-from address
  • Ship-to address
  • Carrier
  • Shipping date
  • Original company
Line

The warehousing order line number. If the order is generated by a package other than Warehousing, this number is the same as the original order line number.

Put Away from Inspection

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

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.

LN can use the inventory specified by this record to fulfill a demand specified by this reference.

LN can use this field in two ways:

  • If the Sold-to Business Partner field is filled, LN uses the Reference field to record a reference code defined by a customer.
  • 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.

Option List ID

The option list ID.

The ASN specifications include the option list ID. The ASN specifications are populated from the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session. In turn, the specifications on the inbound order line are populated from the purchase schedule line.

For configurable purchased items in Warehousing, only the option list ID is part of the specifications. This means that inventory is maintained per option list ID and is the total of inventory of all product variants with the same option list ID.

Note
  • The field is displayed only if the Assembly (APL/ASC/ASL) check box is selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0100s000) session.

  • The field is populated only for configurable purchased items and manufactured assembly (FAS) items.
