Ad Hoc Inspections

Ad hoc inspections are also called as standalone inspections. You can do these inspections any time.

With standalone inspections, you can collect inspection results without a parent transaction. For example, you can collect inspection results against a work order operation, resource, or an assembly in inventory.

Create ad hoc inspections for Asset, Inventory, Resource, and Work in Process inspection plans from the Maintenance landing page, Quality Management landing page, or Work Execution landing page.

While creating an inspection:

• If there are one or more matching inspection plans, select a plan that you will use to collect the inspection results.

• If there is no matching plan, you must add the inspection characteristics for which the inspection results will be collected.

  Even if a plan is available, you may choose not to use it, and instead add inspection characteristics for inspection. Also, even when you select a plan, you can add inspection characteristics as well. However, an issue gets created only for a measurement that is out of the specifications based on the values defined in the inspection plan.

Disposition Status on Ad Hoc Inspections

Inspection results collected in standalone inspections display the disposition information. However, no action is initiated as there is no parent transaction to implement the disposition. For example, no units are scrapped out of manufacturing and no units are rejected in inventory.
