Releasing Lots From Quarantine
Lotted Inventory items may occasionally be placed in quarantine if there are potential quality defects that need to be resolved before the items are sold. Or in the case of imports that need to pass customs, paperwork and/or duties may need to be provided to authorities before the items can be used.
Newly created inventory items that are lotted can be automatically placed on quarantine at time of receipt if the Days on Quarantine checkbox is selected on the Lots tab in the I/C Options form. Lots can be quarantined using the Lot Numbers form in the I/C Items and Price Lists folder. Lots can also be quarantined on an item-by-item basis using the I/C Items form.
Once the issues have been resolved, you can release the lots from quarantine. Before you begin, you must have either the lot number of the lot you want to release, or the item number of the item that is included in the lot. Keep in mind that you must release all quantities of a lot or none at all.
To Release Lots from Quarantine:
-
Select I/C Periodic Processing > Quarantine Release to display the I/C Quarantine Release form.
