Creating Inspection Splits

You use this procedure to enter different inspection results for subquantities of the total quantity of a returns delivery item.

Procedure

Open the returns delivery for which you want to enter inspection results.
For more information, see Material Inspection in Warehouse.
Choose the Item tab page.
A list of all the items in the returns delivery appears. The system automatically uses the original quantity as the inspected quantity.
Select the item you want to split and choose (Create Split Item).
The system creates two new lines and the original delivery item line becomes a summary line. The system enters the original quantity as the inspected quantity of the first split line, and zero as the inspected quantity of the second split line. The inspection status of both lines is Not inspected.

The following figure shows an example of how a delivery item is initially split to enter different inspection results for subquantities:

Initial Split of Delivery Item
Based on the results of the inspection, distribute the inspected quantity between split line 1 and split line 2, and enter the appropriate inspection code for each.
The system updates the total inspected quantity accordingly.
An example of how different inspection codes can be entered for different quantities of a delivery item is shown in the following figure:

Entering Different Inspection Codes for Item Splits
Save the inspection.
The system updates the status of each split to Inspected. It also uniquely identifies each split so that the Warehouse Management System (WMS) can execute subsequent stock movements correctly. For more information, see Integration into Warehouse Management System (WMS).

Note
You can create additional split lines by selecting an existing split line and choosing (Create Split Item) again.
End of the note.

Note
You do not have to enter an inspection code for all item splits at the same time. If you save the inspection document and there are still some item splits with the status Not inspected, the overall status of the inspection document is Partly Inspected. You can see the overall status of the inspection document on the Header tab page.
End of the note.

Note
You can delete a split if it contains errors or you want to redefine it, by choosing (Delete Split Item). This is only possible as long as the logistical follow-up activities have not been confirmed. If the follow-up activities have been confirmed and the follow-up documents have been created, you must first cancel the follow-up documents and then you can reject the split items. Choose (Reject Item).
End of the note.

Note
When you save the inspection results, the system checks that the total inspected quantity is equal to the original quantity. If not, you can still save the inspection, but you cannot confirm any subsequent logistical follow-up activities until you have corrected this discrepancy.
End of the note.
