Warehouse inspections and order origin

In Warehousing, inspections are possible for all order origins, including manual orders, and for items stored in inventory. This topic discusses inbound and outbound inspections. See Inventory inspections for information about inventory inspections.

In Quality, however, no inspection orders can be created for the following (manual) order origins:

  • Sales (Manual)
  • Service (Manual)
  • Maintenance Sales (Manual)
  • Maintenance Work (Manual)
  • JSC Production (Manual)
  • ASC Production (Manual)
  • Transfer (Manual)
  • Project (Manual)
  • Purchase (Manual)

If the warehouse inspection activity is part of the order type, this activity must be added as an order step for the applicable order origin, when users create activities in any of the following sessions:

  • Activities by Warehousing Order (whinh2104m000)
  • Activities by Inbound Order Line (whinh2114m000)
  • Activities by Outbound Order Line (whinh2124m000)

If, for example, a manual inbound order line or transfer order line is received (and put away), a warehouse inspection line must be created.

Inbound warehouse inspections can be approved, rejected or destroyed, whereas outbound warehouse inspections can only be approved or rejected.

The following should be taken into account:

  • Rejections for Purchase (Manual) orders are handled in the same way as for Purchase orders and Purchase Schedule. For these order origins the original receipt transaction is reversed. For all other order origins rejections are handled by creating an adjustment order for the rejected quantity.

  • The usage of Quarantine Inventory Overview (whwmd2171m000) session is based on the parameter settings.

  • LN handles the rejected inventory against the specification as determined in the original purchase order and purchase order line.

    As a result, handling rejected inventory is not possible for Purchase (Manual) orders, because:

    • There is no purchase (return) order for returning the rejected inventory.
    • Destroying can be performed directly from the warehouse inspection.

The following table summarizes handling of destroyed or rejected inventory and is applicable if the Quarantine Inventory check box is not selected in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session and the inventory is inspected in a regular process which is Approve or Scrap, based on order origin.
