Performing inspections

If an item is flagged for inspection, you must perform inspection procedures. The item that must be inspected is placed on inspection hold after it is received and released.

If you use Infor Process Automation, an inspection notice is sent to the inspector, saying the shipment needs inspection.

After inspecting the shipment, the inspector then accepts or rejects the shipment.

For information on Infor Process Automation, see the LPA Services for Infor Lawson Reference Guide.

Note: When you perform inspections, an inspection number is automatically assigned.
