Inspection orders can roughly be divided into 3 categories: (1) inspections of products that are purchased, produced, or sold; (2) production routing inspections, which are not related to an origin order; (3) storage inspections - quality inspections for items in inventory. Each InspectionOrder BOD message contains a single inspection order and its tasks and task lines. The header information of the inspection order. Typically, an inspection order results in an inspection task for the Quality Management team. An inspection task may consist of multiple inspection task lines. In an inspection task line, the inspection setup by item part and characteristic is defined. The inspection order quantity that is eligible for inspection. The total actual quantity that is accepted for the inspection order. The total actual quantity that is rejected for the inspection order. The overall reason why the samples are rejected. The person who requested the inspection. The person who produced the material to be inspected in case of a production order inspection related request. Inspection order task - general data. Inspection order task - methodology. The part of the sample quantity accepted after testing. The part of the sample quantity rejected after testing. Inspection order task line - general data. The date on which the first data is entered for the inspection order task line. The date on which the inspection is reported as completed. Inspection order task line - test data. The actual quantity that is accepted for the task line. The actual quantity that is rejected for the task line. The quantity which was placed on hold pending further inspection. The reason for rejection of the samples. Inspection order task line - limits. The type of inspection order. Extensible code list. Valid values include: Sales, Purchase, Production, BillOfMaterial, Routing, Storage. The minimum percentage of a test sample that must be approved to have the entire item quantity approved. The reason why the samples are destroyed in the destructive tests. Boolean. True, if the test is destructive and the item cannot be used after testing. An item characteristic value that is determined once. The reason why the hold quantity was put on hold (reported as nonconformant). Typically this would be for outbound information. The date and time the inspection is due by. The inspection level at which the inspection must be conducted. User definable standard code list. The severity level defined for the inspection. Extensible code list. Valid values include: Reduced, Normal, Tightened. The inspection standard defined for the inspection task. User definable standard code list. Storage date and time of the item. A part of an item. For example, a bolt can have the aspects head and tail. An aspect can have one or more characteristics. For example, a head can have a diameter and a length, and a tail can have a diameter and a color. User definable code list. Category for the characteristic. User definable code list. A code that indicates a particular quality or distinctive mark of an item or an item part/component. For example, diameter, length, weight. User definable code list. The standard normally used for characteristics. For example, a DIN standard. The standard type of the characteristic. Extensible code list. Valid values include: Attribute, Variable, Text. The type of value that is measured. Extensible code list. Valid values include: Fraction, Integer, Option. The UOM in which the item characteristic is expressed. The number of times the iteration has been performed. The lowest characteristic value, expressed in the characteristic UOM, for which the quality is acceptable. The highest characteristic value, in between the lower limit and the norm value, that results in a quality warning. The material location where the material physically exists. Allows nesting to support multi-level hierarchical location such as "QA Crib 001", "Rack 1", "Shelf 1", "Slot 2", etc. The desired quality for the item characteristic, expressed in the characteristic UOM. The iterations performed for the sampling plan. In case of a re-inspection, this is a cross-reference, from the re-inspection task, to the original inspection task, as published with the same inspection order. The person who produced the material. The way in which production, purchase, or sales, is stopped or controlled in order to carry out inspections. Extensible code list. Valid values include: Continue, Block, BlockOperation, BlockCompletedOperation. A boolean, indicating whether the inspection results are either a mere recommendation for the user (true), or mandatorily to be accepted as such (false). In the first case, the user can ignore and even overwrite the accepted and rejected quantities. In case of a re-inspection, this is a cross-reference, from the original inspection task, to the re-inspection task, as published with the same inspection order. The sampling plan ID for the inspection task. The sampling rule for the inspection task. User definable standard code list. Boolean. If true, only a part of the lot is to be inspected. The location where the nonconforming material was found. Such as, a department, work center, area, etc. An examination or check done on a characteristic. User definable code list. Defines how often samples to test an order quantity are taken, and what the sample size is. User definable standard code list. The sample size, expressed as a percentage of either the order quantity or the frequency (in case of ContinuousSampling as the test type). The person who performs the test on the item characteristic. Refers to a user definable standard test procedure. Standard code list. The version number of the standard test procedure. Summary of the test result. Extensible code list. Valid values include: Accepted, PartiallyAccepted, Rejected, Undefined. The type of result reported to the user. Extensible code list. Valid values include: Quantitative, Qualitative. The specific know-how or technical expertise that an engineer must have to carry out activities. Uses user definable code list Skills. The standard normally used for the test. For example, a DIN standard. Specification of the way in which the samples are taken from the order quantity. Extensible code list. Valid values include: HundredPercent, SingleSampling, ContinuousSampling, SamplingRule. The UOM that applies to the test. The highest characteristic value, expressed in the characteristic UOM, for which the quality is acceptable. The lowest characteristic value, in between the norm value and the upper limit, that results in a quality warning. The total quantity destroyed during a destructive test. The quantity destroyed is equal to the sample size of the inspection tasks that are tested by means of destructive tests. The quantity destroyed does not have any impact on the accepted or rejected quantities. The total quantity to be accepted, as recommended by Quality Management. The total of all sample quantities which passed the tests successfully. The quantity to be destroyed in destructive tests, as recommended by Quality Management. The total quantity to be rejected, as recommended by Quality Management. The part of the sample quantity that is tested. Example: A 5 kg sample will be tested by testing 1 kg at a time.
