Introduction
The inspections module allows users to create, view, edit, and/or close inspection requests on vehicles. These can be Post-Sale Inspections, Pre-Sale Certifications, etc. Additionally, you can configure the type of inspection you typically complete. This module is especially helpful with certifications or requirements set by specific sellers.
For example: When a seller requires a specific type of inspection to be completed on their units, you can set the type of inspection, inspect the vehicle, and charge the seller for the inspection if applicable. This will certify the vehicle as inspected and ensure that no arbitrations can be claimed unless a buyer observes something arbitrable that was missed.

If the unit is assigned to a lot number, the sale date and lot number will be prefilled automatically. Select the Inspection you wish to complete, who is completing the inspection, and then, who requested the inspection. Add any inspection notes that pertain to the inspection, and click save.
