Run a Final Inspection

Final Inspection gives the shop a consistent last check before an instrument is returned to the customer.

Start the inspection

Open the work order and go to Final Inspection.

Choose Start Final Inspection if the checklist has not already been created.

Starting the inspection creates the checklist. It does not automatically mark anything complete and it does not change the work-order status.

Work through the checklist

The standard guitar inspection includes checks for:

1. Requested work verified
2. Visual / finish condition
3. Hardware and tightness
4. Frets and playability
5. Neck relief
6. Action
7. Intonation
8. Electronics and output
9. Tuning stability
10. Clean and polish
11. Case, accessories, and handoff notes

Items such as relief and action can include measurement notes.

Mark an item

Each item can be:

• Checked — completed and verified
• N/A — genuinely not applicable
• Pending — still needs attention

You can also add a note without changing the item's status.

AXB keeps who completed the check and when.

Complete the inspection

When every item is either Checked or N/A, AXB shows that Final Inspection is complete.

Completing the checklist does not automatically change the order to Ready for Pickup or Done. The final status remains a staff decision.

What if items are still pending?

If you try to move the order toward completion with pending inspection items, AXB can warn you.

The warning does not hard-block the status change during the current pilot workflow, so staff still control the final decision.
