Manage inspection tags

Inspection tags provide detailed tracking of inspection processes for specific lots. You can create inspection tags, assign inspection status codes, and manage the tag lifecycle from creation through release.

Create an inspection tag

To create an inspection tag from lot information, follow these steps:

1. Select the Search icon , enter Lot No. Information List, and then choose the related link.
   The Lot No. Information List page opens.
2. Select the related lot number to create an inspection tag.
   The Lot No. Information Card page opens.
3. On the action bar, select Related > Inspection Tags.
   The Inspection Tag List page opens.
   You can also select the Create Inspection Tag action, or navigate via the search icon to open the Inspection Tag page.
4. On the action bar, select New to create a new inspection tag.

5. On the General FastTab, enter the required information in the following fields:

   Field	Description
   No.	Specifies the unique identifier for the inspection tag. This is automatically updated based on the number series configured in the inspection status setup.
   External No.	Enter an optional external reference number for the inspection tag, such as a vendor inspection number or third-party reference.
   Status	Specifies the current status of the inspection tag. The available options are: New, Active, and Released. The default value is New.
   Priority	Specifies the priority level of the inspection tag. The default value is 1, where 1 represents the highest priority. This value is inherited from the inspection status code when assigned.
   Item No.	Specifies the item number associated with the inspection tag. This is automatically populated from the lot information.
   Variant Code	Specifies the variant code for the item, if applicable. This is automatically populated from the lot information.
   Source Type	Specifies the type of source for the inspection tag. The available options include: Lot, Quality Check, and other source types.
   Source No.	Specifies the source record number (such as lot number or quality check number) linked to the inspection tag. This is automatically populated based on the source type.
   Quality Check No.	Specifies the quality control check number if the inspection tag was created from a quality control check. Select this field value to open the associated quality control check record. If no quality control check is associated, this field remains inactive.
   Inspection Status Code	Specifies the current inspection status code assigned to the tag. This field is updated when executing the Change Inspection Status action.
   Inspection Status Comment	Specifies additional comments about the inspection status. This field is updated when changing the inspection status code.
   Reason Code	Select the reason code explaining the inspection status change. This field is mandatory when changing the inspection status on the Inspection Status Reason Code page.
   Next Follow-up Date	Enter the date for the next follow-up action required for this inspection tag. The system displays a warning if attempting to set a date in the past.
   Follow-up Reason Code	Select the reason code explaining the follow-up date change.
   Follow-up Date Comment	Enter additional comments about the follow-up date or requirements.
   Follow-up Period	Enter the time interval for recurring follow-up inspections (for example, 30D for 30 days, 1M for 1 month). This field helps automate scheduling of follow-up inspections.
   Follow-up Schedule	Specifies the calculated schedule based on the follow-up period. This is a read-only field showing when future follow-ups are due.
   Disposition Code	Select the appropriate disposition code categorizing the inspection scenario. The available options are defined in the disposition codes setup.
   Disposition Comment	Enter additional comments about the disposition. This field may be mandatory depending on whether the related disposition code has the Comment Required checkbox selected.
   Disposition By User ID	Specifies the user ID of the person setting the disposition code. This is automatically populated by the system.
   Disposition Date/Time	Specifies the date and time when the disposition code was set. This is automatically populated by the system.
   Status Mgmt. Description	Specifies the description of the status management code if a status management flow is applied to the inspection tag.
   Status By User ID	Specifies the user ID of the person creating or last modifying the inspection tag status. This is automatically populated by the system.
   Status Date/Time	Specifies the date and time when the inspection tag status was last changed. This is automatically populated by the system.

   The inspection tag is created with New status and is ready for inspection status assignment.

   The system aggregates all inspection status codes from all active inspection tags linked to a lot number for comprehensive evaluation.

   The system evaluates aggregated inspection status codes across the following inventory operations:

   • Sales pick
   • Sales availability
   • Production consumption pick
   • Production consumption availability
   • Transfer pick
   • Transfer availability
   • Internal movement pick
   • Internal movement availability
6. Assembly consumption pick
7. Assembly consumption availability

Lot availability calculations are more accurate, as the system considers all active inspection statuses simultaneously.
