Set up default inspection status per trigger type

Article07/30/20243 min read

A default inspection status determines which inspection status in a lot gets in a certain type of inbound transaction. Per inspection status, one or more outgoing transaction types (for example sales pick, sales availability, production consumption pick, et cetera) can be blocked.

The default inspection status can be set up at the following levels:

  • Item
  • Item Attribute
  • All Items

However, this does not apply to the Expired Sales Expiration Date and Expired Expiration Date trigger types, these can only be set up at the All Items level. The order above is also the hierarchy when assigning the inspection status. At each level, a vendor number can be selected when the trigger type is Purchase Receipt.

A default inspection status can be assigned to the following trigger types:

  • Purchase Receipt
  • Sales Return Receipt
  • Output Production
  • Output Assembly
  • Positive Adjustment
  • Quality Check Passed (if the Quality Check extension is installed)
  • Quality Check Failed (if the Quality Check extension is installed)
  • Expired Sales Expiration Date (if the Expiration Management extension is installed)
  • Expired Expiration Date (if the Expiration Management extension is installed)
  • Follow-up Needed (if the follow-up period is expired)
Important

The system does not apply the default inspection status to lots originating from a drop shipment transaction for the Purchase Receipt and Sales Return Receipt trigger types. For more information, see Integration: Aptean Drop Shipment.

If a new lot number is assigned to a Sales Return Order with the Trigger Type set to Sales Return Receipt, the Default Inspection Status field value will be inherited for that lot number. However, if an existing lot number is used in the Sales Return Order, the Default Inspection Status field value will be retained by the lot number, regardless of whether inventory for that lot is still available.
