What are Inspection Codes?

Inspection Codes are a means of attaching a set of simple inspection instructions to an item, which need to be completed at the receipt stage of the purchasing process. For example, if the item is clothing, an inspector may wish to check for finishes on seams and buttons. The instructions need to be completed in order to determine whether or not the items delivered are acceptable or not. You can define, for example, if fields are mandatory or optional and if data is to be validated by the system or not.

The effect of this is that the item is not be treated as being fully receipted until it has been passed as inspected. This stops faulty items being taken into stock and extends the receipt note process, because it is be necessary for the inspector to update the receipt note, before the stock record can be updated.

They can be linked to Employee Roles so that certain individuals, or job functions, can carry out the inspection.
