Defaulting of inspection type for a purchase order by the system
If the user does not select inspection type for a part, the system will default the inspection type for a part in the following way:
If the purchase order is of type “Service”, the system defaults inspection type to “None”.
For purchase orders of all types other than “Service”, the system defaults the inspection type for parts in accordance with the definition of the parameter “Basis to default Inspection Type in PO” in the “Set Purchase Options” activity of the Logistics Common Master component. If the parameter “Basis to default Inspection Type in PO” is set to:
‘0’ or left blank, it is mandatory for the user to select the inspection type for the ordered part.
‘1’, the system defaults the inspection type for the part as ”By Inspector”, if the ” QC Clearance Required” flag is set for the ordered part in the part definition. However, if the flag is not set for the part, the system defaults the inspection type based on the type of the ordered part, If the part is a component, the inspection type is defaulted to “Self”. For non-component parts, the inspection type is defaulted to ”None”.
‘2’, the system defaults the inspection type of the part to the inspection type defined for the part and supplier. However, if the inspection type for the part and supplier combination is not available, the system checks for the ”QC Clearance Required” flag of the part and defaults the inspection type in the same way as it does when the parameter “Basis to default Inspection Type in PO” is set as ‘1’.
‘3’, the system sets the inspection type for all parts of the purchase order to “By Inspector”.
