Receipt Line Inspections

Inspection is the process of accepting or rejecting goods from suppliers or customers before they're put away to their final destination.

These aspects are important when inspecting receipt lines:

• Inspection quality

• Inspection quantity

• Split line inspections

• Multiple or single line inspections

• Packing units

• Inspection example

Inspection Quality

Quality codes indicate a particular quality standard. For example, Excellent Condition or Damaged are good examples of quality codes. You define quality codes during setup and your company can define as many codes for inspection as you want. Each code must have a corresponding number ranking, which provides an inspection scale. You use these inspection codes when you receive and inspect the items you ordered.

Inspection Quantity

The inspection quantity field defaults to the receipt quantity. Accept the default quantity if you're accepting or rejecting all items. If you choose to partially accept or reject a line, you can edit the quantity.

Split Line Inspections

You can split a receipt line prior to inspection.

Splitting a receipt line enables you to:

• Store the receipt line items in two different packing units after inspection.

• Partially accept and reject the line.

  For example, if you have a quantity of 10 items, you can split the line and then accept a quantity of 5 items and reject a quantity of 5 items.

• Provide a different quality code for quantities belonging to a single receipt.

Multiple or Single Line Inspections

You can choose to accept or reject multiple lines on a receipt at one time, or inspect the lines individually. Use the Inspect Receipt Lines page to inspect multiple lines at one time. Use the Inspect Receipt Line page to inspect only one receipt line.

Packing Units

You can enter the transfer packing unit number if material is kept inside a packing unit after inspection.

If the material is kept inside a packing unit after receipt and before inspection, then that's shown as the Source Packing Unit on the Inspect Lines and Inspect Line pages.

Oracle Receiving defaults the source packing unit value to the Transfer Packing Unit field. However, the transfer packing unit number can be the same as the source packing unit number only if the entire quantity is either being accepted or rejected.

Inspection Example

At the receiving dock, you receive a shipment of 200 glass vials that require inspection. You record receipt and send the items to inspection. As the inspector of the 200 glass vials, you want to accept 195 and reject 5. You split the line into two lines so that you can send the 5 rejected glass vials back to the supplier and deliver the 195 glass vials to the requester.
