Receiving materials that require inspection

Some materials require inspection before they can be entered into inventory. Upon receipt, these materials are stored in a holding location until an inspection is performed and the inspection status is changed.

1. On the List tab of the Receiving application, select the purchase order for which you want to receive materials that require inspection.
2. On the Material Receipts tab, click Select Ordered Items.
3. In the Select Ordered Items window, click the check box for each item that you want to receive. To select all the items on the purchase order, select the check box in the table header.
4. Click OK.
   The line items you selected appear in the Material Receipts window of the Material Receipts tab. If the item requires inspection, its status is WINSP (Waiting for Inspection).
5. Optional: In the Material Receipts window, change the selected material information, such as the quantity.
6. Click Save Receipt.
7. Perform the inspection and change the inspection status as follows:
   • If the item is a rotating item that requires serialization, change the status to WASSET (Waiting for Serialization).
   • If the item does not require serialization, change the status to COMP (Complete). The item is transferred from the holding location to either its storeroom or to its direct issue location.
8. Optional: If you want to reject items, type the number of items you want to reject in the Quantity Rejected field. Provide a reason in the Reject Code field to represent, for example, damaged goods. A return transaction is created for any items that you rejected.
9. If the item requires serialization, receive the rotating item.
10. Click Save Receipt.
