# Inspection Order

:lock: InspectionOrder.**Show**

## Overview

A particular **Inspection Plan** is a reusable object that defines a common inspection plan based on sampling via a **Inspection Order** object. An **Inspection Order** is an object that holds the information from the **Inspection Plan** and implements these definitions through the use of a separate object which represents the logical link between the Materials being used for the inspection and the Steps where it is taking place, gathering and storing the context for the operation. For each Step that is configured to be used in an **Inspection Plan**, a certain number of Materials called *Step Material Samples* will be used to perform the steps defined in the **Inspection Plan** configuration.

The **Inspection Order** page displays general information on the specific **Inspection Order**. In addition it enables the user to perform all the operations that can be performed on a specific **Inspection Order**.
