## Overview

Use an inspection record to document an incoming warehouse inspection note. Warehouse and inventory users enter the related order number, identify the person who performed the inspection, record the inspection date, and attach supporting files when required. Create or update the record when goods require an inspection record for warehouse follow-up.

## Workflow

1. Open **Warehouse**, then select **Incoming Inspection Note** to work with inspection records. Open the inspection form for the record you need to complete.

2. Record the inspection details. Enter the related **Order Number**, complete **Inspected by**, and enter the inspection date in **Inspected on**.

   > **Note:** Record the inspection date and inspector consistently so that the inspection note can be identified with its related order.

3. Decide whether supporting evidence is needed.
   - To add a file from your device, select **Attach**, then select **Select** and choose the file.
   - Alternatively, drag a file to **or Drop a file here**.
   - Confirm a file-selection prompt with **Ok** when it is displayed.

4. Decide how to finish the record.
   - Select **Save** to keep the inspection record open for further review or additional attachments.
   - Select **Save and Close** to save the inspection record and leave the form.

   > **Tip:** Use **Save** before adding further information so that the inspection details already entered are retained.

## Examples

A warehouse user receives goods for order `PO-10458` and needs to record the incoming inspection.

1. Open **Warehouse** and select **Incoming Inspection Note**.
2. In the inspection form, enter `PO-10458` in **Order Number**.
3. Enter `Jordan Lee` in **Inspected by** and enter `7 August 2026` in **Inspected on**.
4. Select **Attach**, use **Select** to choose the supplier’s inspection document, and confirm with **Ok** if prompted.
5. Select **Save and Close** to save the completed inspection record.

## Tips

> **Tip:** Use the same order number format as the related order so that inspection records can be located more easily.

> **Note:** Attach supporting documents at the time of inspection when they are available, rather than keeping them separately from the inspection record.

## Troubleshooting

- **The inspection record is still open after saving.**  
  You likely selected **Save**. Select **Save and Close** when you have finished working on the record.

- **You cannot add a file by dragging it to the form.**  
  Use **Attach**, then select **Select** to choose the file from your device.
