    If items rejected during production must be sent to a dedicated quarantine warehouse, specify the quarantine warehouse in the Quarantine Warehouse field of the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session.

  • For items, you must select the relevant option in the Rejects Handling field in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session. This field is unavailable if the Quarantine Inventory check boxes in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) and Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) sessions are cleared.
  • For quarantine inventory received through purchase orders or purchase schedules, to allow for invoicing and payment of before the warehousing inspection and quarantine processes are completed, select:

    • The Payable to Supplier check box
    • The Quarantine Inventory check box in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session
    • For each relevant warehouse, the Quarantine Inventory check box in the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) details session.
  • In the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, if the Quarantine Inventory check box is selected, select quarantine inventory series and number groups.
  • Specify the preferred option in the Available for Planning field of the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session to determine if or when quarantine inventory must be available for planning using Enterprise Planning, TPOP, or SIC.
  • If you selected By Due Date in the Available for Planning field of the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, specify the default date and time on which quarantine inventory becomes available for planning in the Disposition Due Lead Time field of the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) session.
  • If your warehouse is location-controlled, locations of the types Inspection and Quarantine must exist for your warehouse. In the Warehouses (whwmd2500m000) session, you can specify whether a warehouse has locations. In the Warehouse - Location (whwmd3100s000) session, you can specify the locations of the warehouse.
  • Quarantine locations have the following characteristics:

    • Storage conditions are not allowed.
    • Manual blockings are not allowed.
    • The Multi-Item Locations, Multi-Lot by Item, or Infinite Capacity check boxes are selected and unavailable.
  • To define the default order type of disposition order for:

    • Reclassified items, in the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session, select order origin Transfer and an order type with transaction type Transfer.
    • Rework items, in the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session, select order origin SFC Production and an order type with transaction type Issue.
    • Items to be returned to the vendor, define a purchase order type of type Return Rejects in the Purchase Order Type (tdpur0694m000) session.

      This purchase order type must be selected in the Order Type for Return Rejection field of the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.

      Also, an order series must be available in the Order Series for Return Rejection field of the Purchase Order Parameters (tdpur0100m400) session.

Note

To use the quarantine functionality, you must set up inbound and/or outbound warehouse inspections, unless quarantine handling is only needed for items rejected during production operations. This is because warehousing inspections are not used for items sent to quarantine after being rejected during production.
