Inspections Overview (continued)
Inspection Dates
Once an Inspection Ticket has been closed, the application will automatically set the Next Inspection date. The Next Inspection Date is calculated based on the date on which the ticket was closed. The calculation performed is (Current Next Inspection Date + Frequency days or months). The Last Inspection Date field will be updated with the date on which the Inspection Ticket is closed.
If you forget to generate an inspection ticket, it is possible the application could generate another inspection ticket sooner than you desire. For example, if the inspection frequency is set to quarterly and the current next inspection date is 04/02/2009, and the inspection ticket is generated then closed on 06/21/2009, the Last Inspection date will be updated to 06/21/2009 and the Next Inspection date will advance to 07/02/2009. If this situation occurs, the User may manually change the next inspection date on the inspection record to be a different date in the future.
