Handling quarantine inventory using NCR

If a defect (non-conformance) is established during purchase, routing or production process, you can either scrap, reject or move the item to a quarantine inventory location. The items in the quarantine inventory can be assessed using the following dispositions:

  • Return to Vendor
  • Rework (to New Specification)
  • Rework (to Existing Specification)
  • Reclassify
  • Scrap
  • Use as is

To execute this disposition, a non-conformance report (NCR) can be generated for this item in quarantine inventory. If an NCR is generated for items in quarantine, disposition is not specified in the Quarantine inventory in Warehousing. This data is defined in the Non-Conformance Reports (qmncm1100m000) and is referenced by the quarantine inventory in Warehousing.

Implementing Quarantine Handling
Step 1. 

In the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000), select the Scrap and/or Quarantine or the Quarantine option for an item.

Note If the Scrap option is selected, the Quarantine Inventory command is disabled.

Step 2. 

In the Testing Combinations (qmptc0119m000) session, create a combination for the required item and the standard test procedure.

Step 3. 

In Purchase Order (tdpur4100m900) session, create and approve a purchase order the for the item.

Step 4. 

In the Warehouse Receipt (whinh3512m000) session, confirm the warehouse receipt.

Step 5. 

In the Inspection Order (qmptc1100m100) session, specify the test data for the inspection order lines and complete the inspection order.

Step 6. 

In the Inspection Order (qmptc1100m100) session, the Result of the Order Inspection (qmptc1620m000) session can be set to Partially Accepted/ Rejected.

Step 7. 

Complete and process the order inspection.

Step 8. 

In the Warehouse Inspection (whinh3622m000) session:

  • Review the accepted and rejected items defaulted by Infor LN from the Order Inspection (qmptc1620m000) session .
  • Process the warehouse inspection.
  • Click quarantine inventory.
Step 9. 

In the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2671m000) session:

  • Review the number of items that are quarantined.
  • Click Report to create a non-conformance report for the rejected quantity.

Note If a Non-conformance is already created for warehouse inspection, the same NCR is linked to Quarantine Inventory when quarantine inventory is created.

Step 10. 

In the Non-Conformance Reports (qmncm1100m000) session, disposition the non conformance. For more information on how to execute the non-conformance, refer to Non-Conformance Report & Dispositions Process.

Note

  • You can use the split NCR option to create individual NCRs based on the requirement, for the items in quarantine.
  • If the NCR Disposition field is set to Reclassify or Rework (to New Specification) you can specify a To Item to which the non-conforming item must be transferred.
Step 11. 

After disposition, Infor LN updates the NCR Disposition, Reason and To Item fields in the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2671m000).

Step 12. 

In the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2671m000) session:

  • Review the disposition lines.
  • Process the quarantine inventory order.

Infor LN creates a disposition order and defaults this value in the Disposition Order and Disposition Order Origin fields in the Non-Conformance Reports (qmncm1100m000) session.

Step 13. 

Close the Non-Conformance Reports (qmncm1100m000) session.
