Inspect the lot before changing status#

The lot detail's status-changing actions require the “Make manual inventory adjustments” permission. Confirm the lot's product, quantity, warehouse and expiration date.

Quarantine, recall, or release a lot#

  1. 1
    Open the lot detail and verify its product, expiry date, and current status.
  2. 2
    Choose the supported status action that matches the physical decision: Active, Quarantined, or Recalled.
  3. 3
    Reopen the lot and check its status before anyone picks from it.
  4. 4
    Check the lot's remaining quantity and location after the status action; changing status should not be mistaken for disposal.
  5. 5
    Tell pickers about the quarantine or recall so physically segregated goods match the screen.

A released lot can be picked again only when it meets your quality decision and the system's eligibility rules.

Check what stock remains#

Status influences eligibility for stock operations but does not automatically remove on-hand units or post a write-off.

WARNING: Quarantine or recall does not equal disposal. Use the distinct write-off workflow only after approval and physical handling.

If a lot action is unavailable#

Check the current lot status and whether the action is available to your role; do not alter a physical count just to change status.

If the action is unavailable, inspect the lot's current status and linked stock movements before trying another status.

For Finance: Disposal Is Separate#

Changing a lot's status does not itself dispose of stock or post a write-off. Use the separate write-off process if goods are physically removed.
