Status Description
Created This is the status of the order when it is created manually and
the item is not yet put in the Quarantine warehouse. When an
order has the status of Created, you can register the
quarantine items with, for example, serial or batch numbers
to trace the items when they leave the Quarantine warehouse.
The items can also be picked and/or reserved from the
standard warehouses, if you must control which exact items
go into quarantine.
Started On this status a transfer transaction is created and the item is
now moved from the default warehouse to the Quarantine
warehouse. This is created for the manually created order
when you click Start. For the automatically created
Quarantine orders, this is the status that is given when you
create it.
Reported If you report a Quarantine order as finished, the item is
as finished released from quarantine. However, it is located in the
Quarantine warehouse. If you use Warehouse management,
you can specify an item arrival journal that is initialized at
the time that the order's items are quarantined. Click Report
as finished to report the quarantine order as finished.
Ended The item is now transferred from the Quarantine warehouse
and back to the standard (or default) warehouse. At this
point, the item is available in standard inventory and the
quarantine management process is complete. This happens
when you click Ended.

Chapter 5: Quarantine Management
• The item's item model group must be set up with the correct
parameters previously discussed.
• The warehouse where the item is being purchased must have a
Quarantine warehouse attached to it.
If two conditions are set up, all purchase order receipts of the item automatically
create a Quarantine order that is located in Inventory and warehouse
management > Periodic > Quality management > Quarantine orders.
The automatically generated Quarantine order puts the item in the quarantine
inventory and it is processed through the order statuses in the same manner as a
manual quarantine order. Therefore, the order must have the status Ended before
the item is physically available in the standard inventory. Notice that, unlike the
manual quarantine order, the automatic quarantine order has the status of Started
when it is created.
