About Performing an Inspection

After you generate samples for a material, you must perform an inspection on them. After you begin the inspection, you cannot change the serials/lots.

The inspection results are captured in the table in the Inspection Criteria section. In this table:
  • Each row represents a test that you must perform during the inspection. These tests are defined in Plant Applications Administrator.
  • Each column represents a sample on which you must perform the inspection.
  • If a value that you enter for a test does not fall within a specified range, the cell appears in a red background. When you later review the inspection results, you can create a non-conformance for the material. The acceptable limits for the range are defined in Plant Applications Administrator, and appear below the table when you place the cursor in a table cell.
  • You can add a comment for each sample while performing an inspection.
