QC Quarantine Setups

This page includes general information about the various QC Setups.

QC Quarantine Location

1It is common to set up one or more QC Quarantine Locations to separate inventory that needs to be QC tested before it can be consumed or sold. This prevents the inventory from being included in availability inventory calculations in production and sales locations.

1. To set up a QC Quarantine Location, navigate by clicking the magnifying glass and in the search box type Locations.

   

2. Click New or Manage/Edit to set up a new QC Quarantine Location or edit one.

   

3. The setup for a QC Quarantine Location is identical to a standard Business Central Location except for the QC FastTab. Within the QC FastTab, there is a toggle field named QC Quarantine Location. If this field is toggled to the “true” position, then the system will allow inventory to be moved into this location regardless of the QC Document Status.

   

QC Quarantine Zone

A QC Quarantine Zone can be setup within any Location using Advanced Warehousing. When there is a subsection of a physical Location containing multiple Bins, a Quarantine Zone can be used to allow for the movement of failed Lots into these Bins without marking the entire Location for Quarantine use.

1. To set up a QC Quarantine Zone, navigate by clicking the magnifying glass and in the search box type Locations.

   

2. Open the Location Card where the QC Quarantine Zone will be created.

   

3. From the Location Card, select Related > Location > Zones.

   

4. Select or Create (via the New button) the Zone to be used for Quarantine, from the drop down in the QC Zone Type field select Quarantine.

   

QC Quarantine Bin

A Quarantine Bin may be setup in any Zone or Location. This allows for a Bin to be used for Quarantined inventory without designating the entire Zone or Location for Quarantine. Multiple Bins may be setup as Quarantine Bins within a Zone or Location.

1. To set up a QC Quarantine Bin, navigate by clicking the magnifying glass and in the search box type Locations.

   

2. Open the Location Card where the QC Quarantine Bin will be created.

   

3. From the Location Card, select Related > Location > Bins.

   

4. Select or Create (via the New button) the Bin to be used for Quarantine, from the drop down in the QC Bin Type field select Quarantine.
