The Sample QC or Inspection process consists of the picking from the Inward Staging Area and the Inspection process of the boxes that are required to be inspected as per the defined inspection parameters.
Inspection Picking and inspection process will be used for both boxwise inwards and boxwise crossdocking.
Inspection Picking
Inspection picking refers to the picking of system-recommended boxes from the inward storage area.
Follow the below steps for inspection Picking:
Go to WMS ->Inward Staging Area → Inspection Picking
Choose box type Crossdock/ Storage. A location can have boxes present for both Storage and Crossdock.
Inspection picking for storage boxes.
Enter the gate entry ID and choose the Box type(Storage or Crossdock).
Choose the aisle to pick boxes for inspection. Scan the first location so that system suggests the locations or boxes to pick the boxes where sample QC is required.
The system keeps on suggesting location and boxes to pick.
Once all the boxes for chosen box type are picked, the success message is displayed informing that all boxes for chosen type are picked.
Inspection picking when additional items are to be picked for inspection.
This is required if supervisor during gate entry approval have not observed the desired results in the sample QC percentages, he can ask the picker to inspect more boxes. In such case the picker can pick more boxes for sample QC which are present in the inward staging area.
Alternatively, supervisor can directly mark more boxes as Inspection Required mandatory during the gate entry approval process.
Scan gate entry ID and Box type.
A confirmation message is displayed that all suggested boxes of that gate entry has been inspected and if he wants to pick more boxes for sample QC.
Scan Location and Box Code to pick for sample QC.
If an approved gate entry is tried for inspection picking, the system will give error.
When the gate entry is already approved (for both Storage or Crossdock boxes).
When gate entry approval is completed for chosen box type.
Box Inspection
Box inspection refers to the process of sample QC where boxes and items are scanned, QC check is done and accordingly, the items are placed in QC Rejected, Extra, or same box.
If the item is found as QC fail, A rejected Box ID should be printed and scanned. At the same time, the item is to be added in the rejected box.
If the item is QC passed, it will be placed and mapped to the same inward box.
If the item is Extra it will be mapped to Extra boxes.
It’s necessary to do the inspection for all items present in the box during the Inspection.
Go to WMS → Inward → Box Inspection.
Scanning items and doing QC
Scan the inward box code.
Open the box physically. Preferably take out all items from the box as the same box has to be used to keep the QC pass items.
Scan the items one-by one.
The item would be placed in same box if QC pass, else in Rejected Box if QC is fail, else in Extra Box if item is extra.
On every item scan, perform QC for item
The SKU details are visible on the box inspection screen for the QC.
On finding an item as QC fail, generate the Rejected box ID.
Choose the QC fail reason and Scan the the Rejected box ID while placing the item into box.
Confirming inspection
Extra Item Scenario
If an item was not expected in the PO and it was found in a box, the User will have to to print an “Extra Box” and scan item to “Extra box”.
In case, the item was not part of ASN item mapping, and the same is received here, then also user will have to add it to “Extra box”.
Scan box code and item code. Add to extra box pop-up is displayed.
Print the extra box id if not already printed.
Scan the Item code and Extra box code while adding the item to that box physically.
If mistakenly, different Item ID(which is already inspected) is scanned, the below error message is displayed.
Audit Log for Boxes
For any storage, crossdock box, the audit log can be checked in the Audit log screen of WMS.
