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.

Before using this program, you need to use the Job Receipts program to receive the manufactured item from a Work in Progress job and create an inspection reference for the item.

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

Listview Columns

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 (Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking).
Job This indicates the WIP job for the inspection reference
Stock code This indicates the stock code for the inspection reference.
Rev This indicates the revision number for the stock item, if the stock item is defined as ECC controlled (see Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking).
Rel This indicates the release number for the stock item, if the stock item is defined as ECC controlled (see Stock Code Maintenance - Tracking).
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.

If a password is defined against the option: WIP Setting WIP inspection reference on hold, (Password Definition), then you have to enter the relevant password before being allowed to change the hold status of a WIP 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 you selected to Capture lots at end of WIP inspection (WIP Setup - General tab), 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 only once the item is received into stock after the inspection phase.
