Answer
RFI stands for Request For Inspection. In digiQC, it's the step where the person who did the work (the contractor / maker) formally requests an inspection — telling the checker (the PMC or QC engineer) that the work is ready to be inspected.
When RFI is turned on for a checklist stage:
The contractor raises the RFI once the work is ready.
The checker is notified and then carries out the inspection against the checklist.
If an approver is set, the RFI is first reviewed (accepted or rejected) before the inspection begins.
This keeps a clear record of who requested the inspection and when, so work is only checked once it's actually ready.
Good to know
RFI can run with or without an approver.
On a Fail / Redo / Reject, a new RFI (Re-RFI) can be raised for the same stage.
RFI numbers can be auto-generated (RFI Number Configurator).
