Show Logger Reference fields

Shipment Auto Inspection Options
The Shipment Auto Inspection Options decide which shipments require manual inspection. This configuration determines which excursion severity levels (Low, Medium, or High) require a manual inspection of the shipments, and which shipments are closed automatically in the system with the Good status.
The following configurations are available as shown in the table below:
Option | Results |
|---|---|
Any severity level (default) | All shipments require an inspection before being closed. No shipment is closed automatically. |
Low severity level and above | All shipments with excursion severity level Low, Medium, and High require an inspection before being closed. |
Medium severity and above | All shipments with excursion severity level Medium and High require an inspection before being closed. |
High | All shipments with excursion severity level High require an inspection before being closed. |
The Require manual inspection for shipments with field below shows the Medium severity and above option selected.
In the drop-down menu, select Yes or No in the Resend shipment report after manual inspection field to choose whether to receive the shipment report again or not after the manual inspection. If enabled, shipment reports are resent to all subscribed contacts once the shipment has been manually inspected and closed.
