WIP Inspection Maintenance

You use this program to review inspection references for made-in parent part items which require inspection before actually being accepted into stock. In addition, you can maintain the on hold status for inspection references.

You use the WIP Inspection program to maintain the inspection references.

Toolbar and menu

Field	Description
Start Review	Select this to display the inspection references according to your selections in the WIP Inspection Options pane.
Change Options	Select this to change the previously selected review criteria. This function is only enabled after you select the Start Review function.
Post	Select this to use the WIP Inspection program to process the inspection reference currently highlighted in the listview. Items can be accepted, scrapped or returned for rework. If Dimension Analysis is in use, the transactions are automatically tagged with default dimension codes (without displaying the GL Dimension Analysis Capture program). If no default dimension codes are defined, the Dimension Code field will be blank. Dimension Analysis is switched on by defining the Dimension analysis setup option for the relevant module as Transaction entry level or GL entry level (Setup Options > General Ledger Integration > General Ledger Codes).

WIP Inspection listview

The information in the listview is displayed when you select the Start Review function.

The listview displays the inspection references you selected to display using the WIP Inspection Options. The inspection references are created from the Job Receipts program.

The following information is included in the listview:

Column	Description
WIP inspection reference	This indicates the inspection reference number.
Lot	This indicates the lot for the stock code, if the stock code is defined as lot traceable.
Job	This indicates the WIP job for the inspection reference
Stock code	This indicates the stock code for the inspection reference.
Rev	If the stock code is defined as an ECC-controlled item, then this field indicates the revision number for the stock item. The wording displayed for this field defaults to Revision, but is replaced by whatever wording you have assigned to the Revision setup option field.
Rel	If the stock code is defined as an ECC-controlled item, then this field indicates the release number for an ECC-controlled item. The wording displayed for this field defaults to Release, but is replaced by whatever wording you have assigned to the Release setup option field.
Wh	This indicates the warehouse for the stock code.
On hold	This indicates whether the reference is currently on hold. Select this to place the inspection reference on hold. You would do this to prevent any maintenance being performed on the reference. If the inspection reference is already on hold, then you can deselect this option to remove the hold status from the inspection reference.
Lot expiry	This indicates the expiry date of the lot. The expiry date is only set on the inspection reference if you selected to capture lots before inspection. Therefore, if the Capture lots at end of WIP inspection setup option is enabled (Setup Options > Configuration > Manufacturing > Work in Progress) then no lot is directly associated with the inspection reference, which means that no expiry date is set directly against that inspection reference. The lots numbers for jobs requiring inspection are only entered once the item is received into stock after the inspection phase.
Quantity manufactured	This indicates the quantity receipted from the job using the Job Receipts program.
Quantity inspected	This indicates the quantity of the item received into inspection.
Quantity accepted	This indicates the quantity of the item accepted into stock.
Quantity scrapped	This indicates the quantity of the item which was scrapped.
Quantity reworked	This indicates the quantity of the item which was sent for rework.
Printed	This indicates whether an inspection document was printed.
Inspection complete	This indicates whether the inspection is complete. If complete, then the Quantity inspected equals the Quantity manufactured.
Reference complete	This indicates whether or not the inspection reference is complete. An inspection reference is automatically set to complete when the following conditions are met: Accepted quantity + Rework quantity + Scrapped quantity = Manufactured quantity No variances for the WIP inspection reference remain in the WIP inspection ledger account You use the WIP Inspection Variance Closure program to view and clear variances left in Work in Progress for completed WIP inspection references. WIP inspection references cannot be set to complete manually.
Concession	This indicates the concession reference associated with the specific Lot, if applicable.
Stock qty manufactured	This indicates the quantity receipted from the job using the Job Receipts program in the stocking unit of measure.
Stock qty inspected	This indicates the quantity of the item received into inspection in the stocking unit of measure.
