Inspection Required Codes

The inspection required code describes what type of quality control is to be performed on the part during receipt processing.

When a purchase order line is created during Purchase Order Maintenance, a default inspection required code for the line is retrieved from the Item/Vendor Relationship Master File.  This value can be manually overridden by the user with another valid value on the Reference File.

Likewise, when an item/vendor relationship is created during Item/Vendor Relationship Maintenance, the default value is retrieved from the Part Master File or, if it is blank, from the Vendor Master File.  This value can be manually overridden by the user with another valid value on the Reference File.

The inspection required code is also used as a selection criteria for the Receipts by Receipt Number and Receipts by Receipt Date reports.

Considerations

The inspection required code can be used to provide additional user information, but it does not affect the flow of receipt processing.

The receiving type code is used to indicate to the system if the quantity control and/or quality control steps should be performed.
