Completing Inactive Defect Records 

Use

Any defects that you confirm during an inspection that are non-critical and that do not need to be activated as a quality notification remain inactive. When you make the usage decision for the inspection lot, the system automatically completes all inactive defect records by changing the status of the quality notification to NOCO (notification completed). The quality notification is then no longer available for processing using the Quality Notifications component.

If an inactive defect record has a defect class assigned to it and the defect class was activated for a workflow link in the Customizing application, a workflow task is automatically triggered when the defect record is initially saved.
