Exceptions logged for tracked instruments
For instrument-level exceptions, the user can log three exceptions:
-
Damaged
A Damaged instrument can be Replaced, Substituted, or Removed.
-
Missing
A Missing instrument can be Replaced, Substituted, or Report Short.
-
Unknown ID
An Unknown ID instrument can be Pass or Hold.
-
Usage Limit Reached
An instrument that has reached its usage limit can be Replaced, Substituted, or Removed.
If an instrument has already been scanned, the only instrument-level exception that can be logged is the Damaged and Usage Limit Reached exception.
For exceptions that are logged against tracked instruments, the following restrictions apply:
-
Replaced instruments can be replaced by instruments of the same item. Users are required to scan a Replaced Instrument ID since this item is an instrument-tracked item for that source location.
-
Substituted instruments can be replaced by a different item. They can be replaced by instrument-tracked items or non-instrument-tracked items. If they are replaced by instrument-tracked items for that source location, instrument IDs are required to be scanned; if they are replaced by non-instrument-tracked items, instrument IDs are not required.
-
Marking an instrument Removed, Report Short, or Unknown ID will bring the user to a screen asking if they want to Pass or Hold the tray.
