Warehouse inspections - setup

Inspections can be defined in Warehousing, Purchase Control, and in Quality. This topic discusses inbound and outbound inspections. See Inventory inspections for information about inventory inspections.

Inbound inspections

  • If your warehouse is location-controlled, a location of the Inspection type must be specified for your warehouse. In the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session, you can specify whether a warehouse is location-controlled. In the Warehouse - Location (whwmd3100s000) session, you can specify the locations of the warehouse.
  • An inspection procedure must be specified for the warehousing order lines of the received goods. The first activity of the inspection procedure must be the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) session.

  • For purchased items, the Inspection check box in the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session must be selected. To select this check box by default, or to make this check box available, select at least one of the following check boxes:

    • The Inspection check box in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) session
    • The Inspection check box in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session
    • The Inspection check box in the Ship-from Business Partner (tccom4121s000) session

Purchase Control settings overrule Warehousing and Quality settings

The settings of the Inspection check box in the Items - Purchase (tdipu0101m000) and the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session overrule the inspection settings of the applicable warehousing order types and the testing combinations specified for items in Quality. See Quality Management - Warehousing inspection integration.

If these check boxes are selected while no inspection procedure is specified for the warehousing order type, an inbound inspection is created nevertheless. Conversely, if these check boxes are cleared, and an inspection procedure is specified for the warehousing order type, no warehouse inspection is generated.

Similarly, if these check boxes are cleared and testing combinations are present for the items, no inspections are generated.

Outbound inspections

  • Define an outbound procedure for the relevant outbound orders.
  • The last activity of the outbound procedure must be the Warehouse Inspections Overview (whinh3122m000) session.

Inbound and outbound - stock point details

To determine how inspections and inspection lines are created for low volume lot or serialized items, LIFO/FIFO items, or items contained in multiple handling units, select or clear the Consolidate Stock Points in one Warehouse Inspection check box in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

History data

To store history data about inbound inspections, outbound inspections, or inventory inspections, select the Inspection History check box in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.
