Storage inspections

Storage inspections are quality inspections for items in inventory. If a storage inspection is generated for the selected items, these items are blocked for use and are regarded as inventory on hold.

Note: If the Inventory Inspection check box is selected for an item and warehouse combination in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2510m000) session, the Quality storage inspection functionality is unavailable. Instead, you can perform inventory inspections. See Inventory inspections for information about inventory inspections.

Procedure for storage inspections

  1. Generate storage inspections in the Generate Storage Inspections (qmptc2220m000) session. You can generate storage inspection orders based on item, warehouse, location, lot, business partner, and date. LN uses the testing combination and standard test procedure for the default inspection data.

  2. Use the Storage Inspections (qmptc2120m000) session to view the storage inspections that you generate in the Generate Storage Inspections (qmptc2220m000) session.

  3. Use the Storage Inspection Inventory (qmptc2130m000) session to allocate the lot(s), the warehouse(s), and the items that must be inspected for this inspection order.

  4. Use the Storage Inspections (qmptc2120m000) session to display the storage inspection orders that are created by default. In this session you can also modify storage inspection orders or create new storage inspection orders.

  5. Use the Inspection Order Lines (qmptc1101m000) session to display, modify, or create inspection order lines. The inspection order lines indicate how an item is tested.

  6. Use Inspection Order Samples (qmptc2110m000) session to create different samples with different sample sizes and different dates and times for each inspection order . LN checks if the total of all the samples matches the sample size.

  7. Enter the test data in the Inspection Order Test Data (qmptc1115m000) session by characteristic. When the test data is specified, LN generates the overall results defined for that specific characteristic.

  8. Process the inspection orders using the Complete/Process Order Inspections (qmptc1202m000) session. ERP determines the 'good' and the 'bad' pieces in the sample size. Based on this, ERP calculates the actual accepted and rejected quantities. These accepted and rejected quantities are compared with the acceptable quality level (AQL), entered in the Test Groups (qmptc0136m000) session. If the percentage of accepted quantity is less than the AQL, the entire order or lot is rejected.

  9. Use the Close Storage Inspections (qmptc2221m000) session to close the orders with the status processed. ERP checks for all processed storage inspections and unblocks all inventory.
