Inspection Codes are a means of attaching a set of simple inspection instructions to an item, which need to be completed at the goods receipt stage of the purchasing process. For example, if the item is clothing, an inspector may wish to check for finishes on seams and buttons. The instructions need to be completed in order to determine whether or not the goods delivered are acceptable or not. You can define, for example, if fields are mandatory or optional and if data is to be validated by the system or not.

The effect of this is that the item is not be treated as being fully receipted until it has been passed as inspected. This stops faulty items being taken into stock and extends the Goods Receipt process, because it is be necessary for the inspector to update the goods receipt note, before the stock record can be updated.
They can be linked to Employee Roles so that certain individuals, or job functions, can carry out the inspection.

Before an Inspection Code can be created you need to have already created at least one Inspector Employee Role code and at least one Employee Setup. Once an Inspection Code has been created it can be attached to one item or a number of items using the Item Master.
When an item has an Inspection Code attached to it, it always invokes a requirement for inspection on Goods Receipt Entry.
To define Inspection Codes, use the Inspection Codes Setup (INC) function which contains the following fields:
