Inventory On-Hold Maintenance

The unique functionality of this DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS module is its ability to control the placing of products on and off hold at a TrackID level, a feature not available in SYSPRO. In SYSPRO, only a stock code or specific Lot number can be put On Hold, locking them throughout the system and disallowing stock movement. This would typically only be used if an item has reached the End of Life. Similarly, putting a Lot number On Hold might be beneficial, especially in the food industry, but it will still be locked throughout the system.

Therefore, this Inventory On Hold module is used to place a specific pallet or a range of pallets on hold regardless of the stock code or Lot number on the pallet. This is useful for various reasons. For example, three pallets in a warehouse may have quality problems (e.g., due to milk spillage), which a QC Manager needs to resolve before being moved or sold.

This module works over and above the usual Inspection process, which DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS caters to with inspectable items in SYSPRO. For instance, if stock is flagged as Inspection Required in SYSPRO, pallets of any stock codes that are receipted into the system will automatically be ON HOLD until released through the usual Quality Control module. Therefore, this Inventory On Hold module is used after the initial quality checks (via the Quality Control module) have passed and the TrackIDs are ACTIVE in the warehouse.

The Inventory On Hold module consists of two screens: On-Hold Reason Maintenance and Inventory On-Hold Control. To start using this module, you must configure the Reason Codes first.
