Inspection statuses
What each inspection status means and which actions are available in it.
Every inspection sits in exactly one status. The status controls what you can do next and what completing the inspection triggers downstream.
The statuses
| Status | Meaning | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| Pending | Created but not yet started. | Start, edit, or complete. |
| In progress | An inspector has started recording results. | Complete, or edit results. |
| Passed | Completed and every result passed. | None. |
| Failed | Completed with at least one failing result. | Reinspect. |
How they connect
The following diagram shows how an inspection moves between statuses:
- Complete reads the recorded results: an inspection ends in Passed only if every result passed, otherwise it ends in Failed.
- A failed inspection can act on its reference: holding lots or a work order and raising an NCR. A pass can release held receiving material.
- Reinspect is available only from Failed; it creates a fresh inspection of the same reference and template so the recheck after rework is tracked on its own.
Editing rules
- An inspection's fields are editable while Pending or In progress. Once it is Passed or Failed, the record is fixed.
- You cannot reinspect a reference while another inspection for it is still open.
