Why train Inspect-to-Release as an end-to-end process?

Because the user-facing step depends on upstream master data, status, integration and period-end controls.

What should support check first when the process fails?

Start with the source document, status, log, master data and authorization before changing configuration.

Guia paso a paso

Check lot origin

Confirm whether the lot came from goods receipt, production, delivery or manual creation.

Atencion: Different origins drive different stock and process effects.

Record complete results

Enter required characteristics, samples and valuation before decision.

Use defects for learning

Create notifications when failure needs root-cause action.

Atencion: Skipping defect data hides supplier or production trends.

Decide and post stock

Make usage decision and confirm stock posting proposal.

Atencion: Usage decision is a controlled quality release, not just a click.
