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.
