Hi,

Not sure which kind of inspection you are asking for? In later versions there is a possibility to configure the shipment flow, so that the shipment has to be approved before delivery. The purpose of this was that someone should look through all the documentations etc needed before delivery. Especially when you are doing export. Perhaps this could be a building block in your solution? 

If you use the Shipment Order instead of Transport Task you will do the delivery via the Shipment and can use the same process as when you deliver Customer Order.

Thank you for this - I don’t have an environment to play around with yet; I will look at this process.  Is there a spot in the online documentation about this that I can read?

Approve Shipment

Explanation

This activity is used to approve shipments.

Often, additional documents have to be sent with shipments, particularly if the shipment is an export order. In such instances, there is a requirement that deliveries should not be allowed until these additional documents have been received by the warehouse. The Approve Before Delivery option in the Settings and Indicatiors section in the header of the Shipment page is enabled when additional documents are required, where the shipment delivery should be halted until such documents have been received. The shipment header command Approve will update the shipment when the documents have been received. A value for the user name in the Approved By field then appears automatically on the Shipment/General tab. If the option on the header is enabled and the Approved By field is not populated it will not be possible to deliver the shipment.

When creating a new shipment, a check will first be made on the shipment type connected in the header. If the Approve Before Delivery option is enabled for the shipment type, the same option will be enabled in the shipment header. If not, you could manually enable the option if needed.

Prerequisites

• The Approve Before Delivery option in the shipment header should have been enabled.

System Effects

• If Approve before Delivery option in the shipment header is not enabled, standard functionality will apply.
• If the Approve Before Delivery option on the shipment header is enabled, and the Approved By field is empty, then it will not be possible to deliver the shipment.
• If the Approve Before Delivery option on the shipment header is enabled and the Approved By field is populated it will be possible to deliver the shipment. Once the Approved By field is populated, if found out that more documents are necessary before delivery, it is possible to manually enable the option which will result in the populated name in the Approved By field being removed. Click Operations and then click Approve to update the shipment when additional documents have been received. This will stamp the user ID into the Approved By field on the Shipment/General tab.
