To inspect handling units

The handling unit setup determines whether handling units are generated, must be created by the user, or are not used for items in the inbound and/or outbound flow. If generated, inspection handling units are generated when the inspection header and inspection lines are created.

If handling units are present for an inbound or outbound inspection header or inspection lines, you can specify the inspection results for the inspection handling units or in the inspection lines.

The Handling Unit(s) Present field in the inspection header in the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) session shows whether handling units are present.

If you specify the inspection results for the handling units, the corresponding inspection line quantities are updated.

Inspection results specified in the inspection lines are updated on the corresponding handling units after you process the inspection, but only if all inspection lines of the inspection have the same inspection results, that is, the entire inspection must be approved, rejected, or (inbound only) destroyed.

Partial inspections are manually processed in the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) session or the Warehouse Inspection (whinh3622m000) session.

After you have specified the inspection results for all of the handling units of an inspection, the inspection is processed:

  • By LN if the inspection results were specified starting from the Handling Units (whwmd5130m000) or the Handling Units (whwmd5630m000) session.
  • Manually by the user
Note

If you process an inspection for which part of the item quantity is not approved, rejected, or (inbound only) destroyed, LN creates a new inspection for the remaining quantity.

However, processing an inspection is not allowed if a corresponding bottom-level handling unit has an unspecified quantity and an approved quantity. In such cases a message is displayed and you must specify the entire quantity and process the corresponding inspection handling units.

If the bottom-level handling unit has an unspecified quantity and a rejected or destroyed, but no approved quantity, processing the inspection is allowed. In such cases the destroyed and rejected quantities are removed from the handling unit and processed anonymously, that is, outside the handling unit. The unspecified quantity stays in the handling unit, for which LN creates a new inspection sequence.
