How to handle quarantine handling units

To specify dispositions and process quarantine handling units:

  1. In the Quarantine Inventory Overview (whwmd2171m000) session, double-click the quarantine ID whose handling units you want to handle.
  2. In the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2671m000) session that opens, click the Handling Units tab.
  3. In the Handling Units tab, select the relevant handling unit and open the handling units tree.
  4. In the handling units tree, right-click the handling unit that you want to handle and select Disposition from the context menu.
  5. Specify a disposition, a reason, and the other information as required.
  6. Save the disposition if you want to process the disposition at a later stage.
  7. Click Process to process the disposition lines with a disposition other than Awaiting Disposition.
Rework or return handling units

For handling units originating from purchase orders that were rejected and sent to quarantine during inbound inspection, the purchase order type, order series, buy-from and ship-from business partners are defaulted from the receipt line in the Disposition (whwmd2272m200) session.

For handling units rejected in outbound inspection, the buy-from and ship-from business partner is defaulted from the item-purchase data based on the item and item group priority.

Split handling units

Splitting disposition lines in the Split Quarantine Inventory Disposition (whwmd2272m100) session is not allowed if handling units are present. To split disposition lines, first remove the handling units.

Move handling units

You can use the Move Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2271m100) session to move entire unprocessed handling units to a different warehouse location. This is only allowed if you start this session from the handling units tree or the Quarantine Inventory Handling Units (whwmd2574m000) session. While moving a handling unit, the related disposition lines are split if the handling unit quantity is lower than the disposition line quantity.

Moving disposition lines is not allowed if handling units are present, because a disposition line can be related to a part of a handling unit and LN does not support moving incomplete handling units.

Remove quarantine handling units

In the Quarantine Inventory Overview (whwmd2171m000) or the Quarantine Inventory (whwmd2671m000) session, you can remove a handling unit of a quarantine ID. Any child handling units are also removed.

Handling units are not removed if they are processed.

A child handling unit is unlinked from the parent handling unit when it is processed. These processed unlinked child handling units are not removed when the parent handling unit is removed.

If a handling unit is removed, the related disposition line is reset to Awaiting Disposition. If another disposition line with disposition Awaiting Disposition is present, the disposition lines are merged if the stock point details are identical.
