Set when inspection is required
Review Before handover and After return. Off gives no prompt; Suggested offers inspection without blocking progress; Required holds the next step until completion. Owner sets inspection policy modes, including category overrides. Checklist managers can select forms; category settings can inherit Use yard policy and Use yard form.
Check the equipment’s remaining readiness work
Open the relevant inspection or Yard turn and follow required fields and displayed blockers. A completed checklist clears inspection work; cleaning, fuel, damage, service, and final readiness may still need attention.
warning
Do not switch off a required policy just to clear a stuck machine. Use an offered audited waiver only with the actual reason and appropriate role.

Check its inspection type, category scope, selected form, and category inheritance.

Read the Yard card and service blockers. Resolve fuel, cleaning, damage follow-up, and final certification.
