What?

A defective report is a document that shows the defective goods/products received from a supplier. Depending on the defect at hand, Luminous defective reports categorize them as production or manufacturing defects.

Why?

The creation and managing of defective reports can save you money. They allow you to recoup money from suppliers or push for additional purchasing credits with a supplier. Luminous also allows you to track the performance of suppliers by analyzing defective reports.

How?

  1. Inventory -> Defectives

2. Select "New Defective Report"

3. Indicate Received Date, Received By, and Type of Defect (Production or Manufacturing)

Production Defect = Defect from production after receiving of goods

Manufacturing Defect = Defect occurred before receiving of goods

4. Add SKU/Product, Purchase Order, and Corresponding Warehouse/Location

Note - Inventory will be deducted when defective report is completed

5. Add SKU(s), Then Save Defective Report (You may also add remarks before saving)
