Create Inspection Request – An overview

Activity overview

This page captures all the request details such as request number, request type, date on which the request was raised and the control point. The request can be raised based the origin id and the inspection plan. The origin could be purchase, production, sales, inventory or quality departments. These applications describe from where the inspection request may be received to the “Quality Model” application. For example, when an item is manufactured, a quality clearance request could be sent from “Production” application to “Quality” application for final clearance inspection. Similarly when an item is purchased a request may originate from “Purchase” application to “Quality” application for quality clearance inspection.

You can define a unique code for the inspection request. Otherwise the system displays the request number as set in the “Setup QC Parameters” page. You can attach a reason code to every request that is being raised. You are also allowed to view the pending requests and record the inspection details.

The system stores the login user id and the server date along with its modification details.
