Understanding Inspections

PeopleSoft Purchasing offers an inspection component that provides detailed inspection instructions that have been established by your item administrator. One set of inspection instructions can be used for multiple items. When you use the Inspection page, these instructions are pulled into the receipt for your reference.

To be eligible for inspection, an item on the receipt line must be defined as requiring inspection. You can select the Inspection Required check box on the following pages:

• Item Categories - Category Definition 2.

• Purchasing Attributes - Purchasing Controls.

• Purchasing Business Unit Attributes.

• Requisition Line Details.

• PO Line Details (purchase order line details).

The item receipt does not have to be related to a purchase order to be eligible for inspection.
