View the technical deviation details of an inspection visit from s52006

A technical deviation is a measured difference between the required and available value. For example, if you need a material of Grade A standard, but the supplier has ready stock of the same material with a different grade, then, the technical deviation is the product condition or a slight change from the documented standard. If a request for quote is pre-awarded with a technical deviation, and is transferred to a Purchase Order (PO) related to an inspection visit, you can view the technical deviation of the PO.

Before you view the technical deviation, ensure the technical deviation is defined in the s50020 Followup on Request for Quote screen.
