Quarantine - Non-conformance Material Report

If Quality is implemented and the non-conformance functionality is activated, you can create an NCMR (Non-conformance Material Report) to handle quarantined inventory.

In the NCMR, you must specify the quantities and determine the disposition of the quarantined items. LN updates the disposition in the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2171m000) session. The disposition is manually processed in the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2171m000) session.

In these sessions, start the Non-Conformance Reports (qmncm1100m000) session to create the NCMR.

You can create NCMRs before or after quarantine inventory is created. However, you cannot set the NCMR to Dispositioned until LN has created quarantine inventory if quarantine inventory is to be expected due to unprocessed but rejected items in warehouse inspections. Quarantine inventory is displayed in the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2171m000) session.

LN creates quarantine inventory after items are rejected and processed in inbound or outbound inspections, or after a receipt is confirmed of items rejected upon completion of a production operation. An NCMR is linked to a quarantine ID if the originating order lines and (if applicable) the inspection lines match.

In the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2171m000) session, the disposition options and the split and reset options are unavailable. You must specify the dispositions in the NCMR. The dispositions are updated in the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2171m000) session.

If the rework, reclassify, or return to vendor dispositions are specified in the NCMR, LN creates the disposition orders according to the default order types set up for return, production, and item transfer orders.

When items are rejected in the Warehouse Inspection (whinh3622m000) session and moved to quarantine, the quarantine location (if applicable) is updated in the NCMR.

In Warehousing, a disposition line is present for each stock point. For the related NCMR, the stock point details are stored in the Non-Conformance Reports (qmncm1100m000) session.

The items rejected during a production operation are accumulated on the same NCMR until you move the items to quarantine using the Move Rejected End Item to Quarantine option in the Report Operations Completed (tisfc0130m000) session. Any subsequent items rejected for the same operation are registered on a new NCMR.

Selecting the Move Rejected End Item to Quarantine option triggers the creation of a warehousing order with which the rejected items are received in the quarantine warehouse or location. After the receipt is confirmed, LN creates a quarantine inventory record, which is displayed in the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2171m000) session.

If the total quantity to be dispositioned on an NCMR is decreased, while disposition lines are present for the corresponding quarantine ID, these disposition lines cannot be fully processed using this NCMR.

To process the remaining quantities of the disposition lines, you must manually create a new NCMR in the Non-Conformance Reports (qmncm1100m000) session and link this NCMR to the originating inspection record and warehousing order of the disposition lines. In the new NCMR, you can specify the disposition for the disposition lines and then process these lines in the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2671m000) session.

You can also perform partial dispositions by splitting the NCMR using the Split NCMR option. Each split-off NCMR can have a separate disposition.
