Creating an Ad Hoc Inspection Queue Without a Transaction Reference

Here’s how to create an ad hoc inspection queue without a transaction reference. You can inspect or reinspect an item on a shelf or in inventory whenever you want.

For example, maybe you want to check the strength of concrete or reinspect the moisture level of wood every two hours.

To create an ad hoc inspection queue without a transaction reference:

  1. Go to Quality > Data Collection > Ad Hoc Queues > New.

  2. In the Queue Creation Options section, from the Queue Creation Option list, select Without Transaction Reference.

    By default, the Status of the inspection queue is set to Pending.

  3. Complete the Basic Requirements section:

    1. Select the Item to inspect.

      When you select an item (a non-controlled, lot controlled, or serial numbered item), NetSuite fills in the Available Quantity field with the quantity in inventory.

    2. To inspect all the available inventory from every lot, check the All Available Lots box.

    3. (Optional) To inspect a specific lot or serial number, select one or more Lot/Serial Numbers you want to create an inspection queue for from the list. Or, for lot items, check the All Available Lots box to select them all.

      NetSuite uses the selected lot or serial numbers for tablet inspection.

      This field is available for lot controlled and serial numbered items.

      • If you select a lot number, NetSuite populates the Available Quantity field with the quantity in the lot.

      • If you select a serial number, NetSuite populates the Available Quantity field with 1.

    4. Select a quality Specification to inspect.

      Or, you can select New to add a new quality specification.

      For more information, see Quality Specifications.

    5. If your warehouse location uses bins, select a Bin Number.

    6. Select a Pre-inspection Action to use when the specification is triggered.

    7. Select an inspection Location.

    8. Select an Inventory Status.

    9. Enter a numeric value to inspect in the Quantity field.

      You can enter decimal numbers here.

      You can inspect all or part of the Available Quantity.

      For example, if you’re inspecting items that are measured by weight, enter 10 to inspect 10 lbs. If you’re inspecting items that are measured by count, enter 10 to inspect 10 pieces.

    10. Select the employee name Assigned To to this inspection queue.

      When you assign an employee, they'll get an email notification when the inspection queue is created.

      contractions; simplify word choice The employee's name also shows up in the Quality Specification Context Assigned To column.

  4. To inspect an item's inventory on a schedule, in the Scheduling Details section, check the Schedule Ad Hoc Request box and then complete the following fields:

    1. Enter an End Date that's after the start date of the associated deployment script.

    2. Select the Deployment Script with the schedule you want to use for the inspection queue.

      For more information, see Setting up Scheduled Inspections.

    3. Enter an End Time that's after the start time of the associated deployment script.

    4. Add any notes or comments in the Comment field.

  5. Click Save.

    After you save the record, NetSuite creates the ad hoc inspection queue and sets its Status to Complete.

    To see the updated status, refresh the Ad Hoc Queue Creation Request record. Then you can report the inspection queue in the tablet interface.

    If the status of your inspection queue is Error, see Viewing an Ad Hoc Inspection Queue Error Message.

    Tip:

    To see the Status and Queue ID columns for your list of ad hoc inspection queues, go to Quality > Data Collection > Ad Hoc Queues.
