Batch acceptance

Quality Inspector reviews the Pending batch against its work order and lot identity. Production date and expiry date provide dated context for the output. The inspector needs the actual inspection and accepted-quantity evidence before authorizing release. Production Planner watches the related work-order outcome while Inventory Controller reconciles the resulting stock.

The accepted-output action requires Pending disposition. Held and Rejected batches are ineligible. Success marks the batch Released and increases finished-goods inventory by the accepted quantity once. The action completes the work order only when every sibling batch is terminal, so the planner needs the whole sibling population when explaining whether production is complete.

• Inspect pending scope. Review the work order and lot alongside production evidence. Confirm which output is being examined and resolve any disagreement about its identity before deciding acceptance.
• Retain acceptance evidence. Keep the accepted quantity and the inspection basis available for the release action. Quality Inspector should be able to explain the decision from that evidence after the result is recorded.
• Reconcile siblings. Inspect the other batches associated with the work order. Resolve outstanding disposition through the authorized action before explaining completion to the operating team.

Agree the inspection evidence, deciding person and finished-goods destination used by the release action. Test the decision with the ordinary Quality Inspector account. Decide how Inventory Controller retrieves the accepted basis when comparing the receipt with the changed balance. The inspector and inventory team should recognize the same product and lot without resolving identity from a name alone.

Rehearse the hold and rejection procedures your team will use and decide who follows up on excluded output. Review expiry dates as part of the operating attention routine. Agree where detailed inspection results originate; any connection to another quality system is a setup choice. Preserve the evidence needed to explain both accepted inventory and output still awaiting disposition.

Take a Pending housing batch from a recorded production interval. Quality Inspector examines the inspection and accepted-quantity evidence, then invokes release. Inspect the Released result and selected finished-goods balance. Repeat the same action and confirm that the receipt remains unchanged after its original successful effect.

Try a Held batch and a Rejected batch. Neither may pass the accepted-output action. Resolve the cause through the authorized quality procedure and keep the excluded output visible for follow-up. Inventory Controller should be able to explain why those batches have not supplied accepted stock.

Next, use a work order with another sibling still Pending and release only its eligible inspected batch. Production Planner checks that the work remains incomplete while that sibling needs a decision. Once the terminal-state requirement is satisfied, explain the work-order result and reconcile received inventory to output actually accepted. Retain the separate disposition of any held or rejected output when reporting the operating outcome.

• Pending batch decisions — Inspect pending lots and their work-order context before deciding acceptance.
• Held and rejected batches — Keep excluded output visible for authorized follow-up.
• Lot balances on hand — Inspect positive on-hand inventory after the controlled receipt, with reservations visible.

Record and accept output rehearses the final handoff. Review and implement changes supplies the earlier design context. Use implementation to prepare the pilot.
