INSPSTATUS

INSPSTATUS denotes the current status of an inspection process for an item, batch, or software artifact within enterprise information systems. It is used across manufacturing, logistics, and software quality assurance to reflect where an item is in the inspection lifecycle.

It is typically implemented as an enumerated field in databases or modules such as ERP, MES, or QMS. Common values include Pending Inspection, In Progress, Passed, Failed, Rework, Approved, On Hold, and Archived. Some deployments use concise codes. The exact set and naming are defined by the organization and may include transition reasons.

The status drives workflows; a change can trigger actions like creating a nonconformance report, initiating rework, updating inventory disposition, or advancing to the next process step. INSPSTATUS is often linked with audit trails, recording who changed the status, when, and any notes or reasons.

For governance and analytics, INSPSTATUS supports traceability, capacity planning, and quality metrics. It can improve regulatory compliance by providing transparent inspection histories and enable integration with quality controls and supplier performance data.

In summary, INSPSTATUS is a functional attribute used to track inspection progress and disposition across goods and software, supporting process automation, traceability, and quality management.
