Inspection Status
Inspection Status is a Bricklead solution designed to strengthen quality control in Dynamics 365 Business Central by assigning, managing, and enforcing inspection statuses at lot level. It helps organizations control whether specific lots can be selected, posted, consumed, shipped, transferred, or used in other operational flows based on their current quality or inspection condition.
When standard Business Central lot tracking does not provide enough control over quality-driven stock availability, Inspection Status by Bricklead brings traceability, automation, and operational discipline to lot usage decisions.
Inspection Status by Bricklead
In industries where product quality, compliance, and controlled stock usage are critical, knowing that inventory exists is not enough. Businesses also need to know whether a lot is approved, blocked, under inspection, temporarily restricted, or available only for specific processes.
The Inspection Status extension for Dynamics 365 Business Central introduces a structured way to manage lot usability across purchasing, sales, production, assembly, transfers, movements, and warehouse-related flows. Each inspection status can define whether a lot may be selected or posted for specific document types, allowing quality rules to be enforced directly during daily operations.
Experience controlled lot management — where every lot status is traceable, enforceable, and aligned with your quality processes.
Benefits
- Lot-Level Quality Control: Assign inspection statuses directly to lots to determine whether they can be used, selected, posted, shipped, consumed, transferred, or moved in Business Central
- Document-Specific Blocking Rules: Define whether each inspection status allows or blocks lot selection and posting/registering by document type, including sales, production, transfer, movement, and assembly flows.
- Automatic Default Status Assignment: Configure default inspection statuses for inbound flows based on item, vendor, customer, category, attribute, treeview, or all-record criteria, ensuring consistent status assignment when lots are created.
- Customer-Specific Exceptions: Define sales exceptions so that lots blocked for general sales can still be allowed for specific customers, customer categories, customer attributes, or customer treeviews when required.
- Vendor Payment Hold Support: Automatically place purchase invoices on hold when related lots have an inspection status configured to set payment on hold, supporting supplier quality control and invoice review processes.
- Automated Status Transitions: Use Next Inspection Status rules to automatically move lots from one status to another after a defined validity term, reducing manual follow-up and keeping lot statuses up to date.
