Cancel and redo PO receipt

Once you’ve moved the parts to another location, finished the inspection, and if you have processed the invoice from the supplier.  You will not be able to cancel the receipt.  At this point, you have to follow a different process to reject the part.  We use the Material Review Board process and when the MRB Case is dispositioned, make a determination at that point how to receive credit or repair from the Supplier or scrap the part.  This information isn’t going to be included in the initial inspection statistics.  When you consider the two processes, they are different.  Incoming inspection is typically meant to catch gross problems with the incoming material.  If the defect is hidden in such a way it isn’t found until later, then either the initial inspection process is lacking or the problem is not discoverable at initial inspection.  Either case sort of dictates a new or at least different process to reject the part.

If your Purchase Order NOT invoiced, then you can Cancel/Arrival receipt even though items is in placed in a picking location/locations. You can reopen the PO line and do cancel as required.
