Defining Inspection Procedures

To define inspection routings, use the Inspection Routings component (ROUTINGS).

Inspection routings are sets of inspection instructions for receiving users. You can assign inspection routings to specific items in the Item table. Receiving users see the inspection instructions when they receive those items. For example, if you often purchase an item made to precise specifications, inspection routings enable you to define procedures for verifying the acceptability of received quantities of that item.

You identify each routing with an inspection ID and define any number of instructions for it. For each instruction, you can also create any number of effective-dated inspection instructions.

This section discusses how to specify inspection procedures.
