Incoming inspection software
Know which received lots can move forward—and which still need inspection, documents or a quality decision. Connect the evidence and follow-up in an App your team can adapt.
Sign in to explore the sample App. Install it with sample data to assign your team and try the review tasks.
Received, inspected and released are three different things
Record what arrived
Identify the supplier, purchase order, item, supplier lot, quantity and receipt date. Receiving staff need a reliable lot reference before an inspector starts—not a second, disconnected description of the shipment.
Review what was found
Inspect against the applicable item requirement and revision. Keep individual readings, visual checks and certificate findings with the report. A passing measurement does not compensate for a required document that is missing.
Decide what may happen next
An assigned quality reviewer makes the disposition decision. The lot stays on hold or awaiting review until that decision is applied. Release, return and scrap instructions remain separate from the inspector’s result.
The App coordinates these quality records. Your warehouse receiving system still owns physical receipt and inventory transactions; stock restrictions require your operational controls or a tested integration.
Follow one failed bracket delivery through correction
The fictional example receives 200 brackets against drawing revision C. Five sampled pieces are measured against a 9.90–10.10 mm diameter limit. Two readings—10.14 and 10.18 mm—are outside that limit. The inspection fails; the lot is not available merely because it has been entered into the system.
| Record | What it retains | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Initial inspection | All five readings, the revision and two out-of-limit results. | The reviewed failure puts the lot on quality hold. |
| Correction and retest | A new report references the failed inspection and describes sorting and replacement. | A reviewed passing retest makes a release review possible; it does not release the lot. |
| Lot decision | The reviewed report, disposition instructions and authorizing decision. | The approved release updates this exact lot. The original failure remains visible. |
| Supplier action | Occurrence cause, escape cause, action plan and subsequent-lot checks. | The SCAR closes only after an effective correction is reviewed, independently of lot release. |
Two failed samples do not establish that only two of the 200 received pieces are defective. The five readings illustrate the process; they are not an AQL sampling recommendation.
Help inspectors and reviewers find their next task
Inspectors see the applicable checks
Select the received lot and active requirement. Dimensional items display limits and measured samples; packaging-only items do not carry irrelevant measurement fields. Calculated results distinguish a failed characteristic from a missing certificate.
Use the receiving inspection checklist to see the checks before adapting the form.
Quality reviewers see unresolved lots
The queue separates awaiting inspection, quality hold, review required and released states. Reviewers can follow the lot into inspection history instead of approving a detached Pass label. Supplier-quality staff can follow a recurring problem without treating every hold as a full corrective-action investigation.
The supplier quality overview connects this work to the broader supplier relationship.
Change the receiving checks as your purchased items change
A new packaging family should not require inspectors to fill out a metal-part measurement form. A trained business administrator can adapt the requirement categories, displayed fields, review assignments and follow-up views in Jodoo. Preserve the distinction between the current requirement and the revision used for an earlier report.
| Business change | What to adjust | What to keep controlled |
|---|---|---|
| A certificate becomes mandatory | The item requirement and document check. | Existing lots still need an explicit review of the changed requirement. |
| A second quality reviewer joins | The member assignments and native review routing. | Who may submit, review and authorize a disposition. |
| A recurring supplier defect needs follow-up | The supplier action and effectiveness criteria. | The original problem, subsequent-lot evidence and closure decision. |
Choose a specialist when automatic sample-size selection, drawing ballooning or direct CMM/gage capture is central to the job. Compare those requirements in the incoming inspection software shortlist. The example is a configurable quality process, not a claim of validated regulatory compliance.

Questions about incoming inspection software
Does receiving a shipment make it available for production?
No. Receipt records what arrived. Inspection records the evidence, and a quality decision records whether the lot may be used, held, returned or scrapped. The example keeps these stages separate. Physical segregation and any ERP stock restrictions still need to be implemented in your operation.
Can different purchased items have different inspection requirements?
Yes. The example links each inspection to an active item requirement and its specification revision. Dimensional items show measurement fields; packaging-only items hide them. A trained administrator can adapt the categories, checks and reviewer assignments for your materials.
What happens when a supplier corrects a failed lot?
Record a new retest linked to the initial inspection and explain the correction. Keep the original measurements. A reviewed passing retest can support a separate release decision; it does not erase the earlier failure or automatically close a supplier corrective action.
Does this App calculate AQL sample sizes or import CMM results?
No. Its sample readings demonstrate the inspection and review process. Choose and approve your sampling plan separately. Consider specialist inspection software for standards-based sample-size calculation, drawing ballooning or direct metrology integration.
Can I try the workflow after previewing the App?
Sign in to inspect the example, then install it with sample data in your Jodoo workspace. Assign your members as inspectors and reviewers before submitting records. Previewing a form is not the same as running an installed approval workflow.
Explore the lots, not just the dashboard
Open the sample queue, inspect a failed report and its retest, then follow the separate lot decision. Install the App with sample data to configure your members and try the review tasks.
