Specifying dispositions for handling unit structures
If a handling unit structure is present for a quarantine ID or a disposition line, you can specify a disposition for the top level handling unit or the child handling units.
If you specify a disposition for a handling unit, the child handling units of this handling unit with disposition Awaiting Disposition also obtain this disposition. This disposition is also displayed in the parent of this handling unit. Handling units of the same level in the handling unit structure are not affected, these handling units retain their disposition.
The Disposition field of the top-level handling unit shows the latest disposition specified for one of the child handling units.
The disposition specified for a child handling unit is also showed for the top-level handling unit. If you then specify another disposition for another child handling unit, this disposition is also shown for the top-level handling unit.
If all child handling units have a disposition other than Awaiting Disposition, you can change the disposition of the top handling unit, but only into one of the dispositions specified for the child handling units. This does not affect the dispositions of the child handling units.
Example
Handling units HU01, HU02, HU03, and HU04 are present for Quarantine ID 100012. HU01 is the top level handling unit, and handling units HU01, HU02, HU03, and HU04 are the bottom-level handling units in the structure.
Initially, all handling units have disposition Awaiting Disposition. If you specify Use As Is for HU01, all child handling units obtain Use As Is. If you then specify Return to Vendor for HU03, HU01 and HU03 are given disposition Return to Vendor, the other handling units remain Use As Is.
If all handling units have disposition Awaiting Disposition and you specify Use As Is for HU02, only HU02 obtains disposition Use As Is, the other handling units of the structure remain Awaiting Disposition.
Reset disposition
If you reset a handling unit, this handling unit and the child handling units of this handling unit are reset to Awaiting Disposition. This disposition is also displayed in the parent of this handling unit. Handling units on the same level in the handling unit structure are not affected, these handling units retain their disposition.
