Caught before it goes in.
A look-alike or wrong material is flagged at the scan, before the container is used.
Usable lots only.
Lot status and expiry are checked at the scan, not only at release.
Exceptions on record.
Permitted exceptions carry the operator's reason and signature for quality.

Two bags that look the same
Try it: pick a bag to scan. Try the wrong one first.
The tablet checks each scan against the work order line, plus status and expiry.
Worked example. Checks run only as configured; whether any override is allowed is your decision.
