Put away to quarantine in Manufacturing

During the production process some end products may not be compliant with the desired specifications.

When a defect is established, the non-conforming items must be handled. When a defect on the manufactured item is detected during an operation step in the production process, you have the option to scrap the item on the applicable operation of the production order or send the defective item to a quarantine location to be reworked at a later date.

Set up put away to Quarantine

Select your preferred method quarantine inventory handling for Enterprise Planning by selecting one of the options of the Available for Planning parameter in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

If a quantity is rejected into quarantine during production, the transfer to the quarantine warehouse must be supported by a production warehouse order. The PWO's used to trigger the warehouse order for the booking of the defective items are different from the regular PWO's.

If the Quality module is implemented, you must enter blocking reasons in the Blocking Reasons (tisfc2100m000) session. When you use a reason code while the Block Quantity Rejected check box is selected, it is not possible to reject items in the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session.

For the warehousing parameters that are needed to make use of the quarantine functionality see Quarantine inventory setup

Exceptions

  • Project pegging

    If project pegging is used in the production process, one or more pegging distributions are present. The pegging distribution must be updated if a pegged item is rejected to quarantine. Once the quantity that is rejected is selected, the pegs that go along with it are automatically transferred to the quarantine inventory.

    The parameters selected in the Enterprise Planning influence the priority in which the pegged quarantine items are handled: in case of "reworking" or "use as is" items with pegs that have the highest priority are handled first, if you chose to scrap the quarantined items the items with the lowest peg priority are selected first.

    If the quarantined goods have the status 'not available for planning', it is not possible to determine the priority of the pegs in Enterprise Planning and the pegs are handled in alphabetical order.

  • Effectivity units

    If the end item has an effectivity unit, it must be reported to the quarantined location.

  • Serials

    If the rejected end item is serialized, and the serials are registered in inventory the serial must be reported to the quarantined inventory location.

    When the manufactured item is serialized, the status of the applicable serials is registered in the 'as-built'. Note: it is not possible to create a rework order for a serial with the status rejected. To rework serialized items, the defective items must be placed in quarantine.

  • Customer owned

    If one or more materials used in the production order are customer furnished, the order is designated as customer owned in the quarantine inventory. This designation is applied even if the customer furnished materials are not yet issued.
