Inspecting the received items

Normally, you only inspect items that have the Inspection Required flag set on the Item Master and therefore only those items are normally displayed. However, you can choose to inspect other items on a random basis, in which case you should check the Include All Items flag on the Inventory Receipt Note Inspection (IRI) form in order to include these items in those displayed. These items can then be inspected, however, you can finish these lines when required, regardless of whether or not the inspection has been completed.

Items can be inspected and, if found to be unacceptable, can be rejected and returned to the supplier. Specific inspection instructions may be applicable if defined in the item master. If they are acceptable the items can be accepted, or transferred, as required.

Note:  The receipt note line must have already been created in order for inspection to be carried out. If inspection is required, it must be carried out before the receipt note is finished.
