Quarantine inventory

In LN, you can put rejected goods in a quarantine warehouse or a quarantine location to determine their disposition, such as scrap, use-as-is, rework, or return to vendor.

  • Quarantine records

    When inventory is sent to quarantine, LN creates a quarantine record or adds the inventory to an existing quarantine record. You cannot manually create quarantine records. A quarantine inventory record consists of a header and one or more disposition lines. LN creates a disposition line for each rejected stock point detail.

  • Process flows to quarantine

    Inventory is put into quarantine if initially rejected during:

    • Production upon completion of an operation
    • Inbound inspection
    • Outbound inspection
  • To handle quarantine inventory
