Inspecting and releasing unavailable products

When a product that is designated as Unavailable with a reason of Inspection is received in a Storeroom warehouse, the product must be inspected. After it is approved for release to inventory, you must move it to Available inventory to update the balances. When you release customer-owned inventory, the customer On Hand and Unavailable balances are updated. When you release distributor-owned inventory, the regular On Hand and Unavailable balances are updated.

When you receive a product that is flagged as Receive as Unavailable in Product Warehouse Product Setup-Storeroom, Unavailable is selected in Storeroom Purchase Order Receipt.

If a product did not pass inspection, you can return the product to the vendor.
