Creating, updating, and deleting inspection headers and lines
During the inbound and outbound process, LN creates inspections for items that require inspection according to the inspection parameter setup. You cannot manually create warehousing inspections.
This topic discusses inbound and outbound inspections. See Inventory inspections for information about inventory inspections.
Inbound inspections
For location-controlled warehouses, LN creates an inbound inspection when an inbound advice, or one or more of its advice lines, are put away. If storage lists are used, the inspection is created when the storage list or a storage mission is put away.
An inbound inspection corresponds to an inbound order line. If warehouse locations apply and the goods are advised to various locations, LN creates a separate inspection for each inbound order line and each advised location. For example, if the items on order line 1000/10 are advised to locations L1 and L2, this results in inspections INS10111 and INS10112. Next, if order line 1000/20 is advised to locations L2 and L3, this results in inspections INS10113 and INS1014.
If the advice lines of an inbound advice are put away at different moments, the inspection is created when the first advice line is put away. When the next advice lines are put away, these are added to the same inspection if the advised location is the same and if the inspection is still open.
If the inspection is set in process or has been processed in the meantime, a new inspection is created for the advice lines that were put away later on.
For non location-controlled warehouses, LN creates the inspection when at least one receipt line of a receipt is confirmed.
If the receipt lines of a receipt are put away at different moments, the inspection is created when the first receipt line is confirmed. When the next receipt lines are confirmed, these are added to the same inspection if the inspection is still open (and the receipt lines belong to the same inbound order line). If the inspection is set in process or has been processed in the meantime, a new inspection is created for the receipt lines that were confirmed later on.
Receipt corrections
If a receipt correction is carried out, LN inserts the corrected quantities in the inspection lines of any corresponding inspections. These quantities can be corrected for inspections that are open or in process. If the quantity to be inspected becomes zero after the receipt correction, the inspection line is removed. For processed inspections, LN creates a new inspection for the corrected quantity. Negative receipt corrections are not allowed for processed inspections if the corrected quantity falls below the processed quantity.
Outbound inspections
LN creates an outbound inspection when outbound advice is released or if the picking list is confirmed, if picking lists apply to the outbound procedure.
An outbound inspection corresponds to an outbound order line. If locations apply, advice lines corresponding to the same outbound order line that are advised to the same staging location are consolidated into one outbound inspection. If one or more advice lines are advised to a different location, a separate inspection is created for each location.
For example, if the items on order line 1000/10 are advised to locations L1 and L2, this results in inspections OUT10100 and OUT10101. Next, if order line 1000/20 is advised to locations L2 and L3, this results in inspections OUT10103 and OUT10104.
If the advice lines of an outbound advice are released at different moments, the inspection is created when the first advice line is released. When the next advice lines are released, these are added to the same inspection if the advised location and the order line are the same, and if the inspection is still open. If the inspection is set in process or has been processed in the meantime, a new inspection is created for the advice lines that were released later on.
Consolidation of stock points in Warehousing inspections
An inbound and an outbound inspection consists of an inspection header and one or more inspection lines.
During the inbound and outbound process, LN creates inspections for items that require inspection according to the inspection parameter setup. You cannot manually create warehousing inspections.
Ownership
If a receipt line or outbound advice has different ownership records, a separate inspection line is created for each owner.
Peg distribution
If the warehouse order line is project pegged, for inbound inspections the approved, rejected, or destroyed quantities are updated for each peg in the Receipt Line Peg Distribution (whinh3528m000) session. For outbound inspections, the approved and rejected quantities are updated in the Outbound Order Line Peg Distribution (whinh2690m000) session.
Quality
Selecting the Consolidate Stock Points in one Warehouse Inspection check box is strongly recommended if you use Quality to perform warehouse inspections. The reason is, that Quality needs consolidated inspections to properly apply sampling rules, in particular if serialized items are involved.
Deleting inspections and inspection lines
LN deletes an inspection line if:
- The Inspection check box is cleared for the related receipt line and the warehouse is a WMS warehouse.
- If the related receipt line is deleted. If the receipt line corresponds with all inspection lines of an inspection, the inspection is deleted.
If an outbound order line is deleted, the corresponding inspections are deleted.
