Decommission an item or lot
Decommissioning an item
Decommission is the event type that captures the end of an traceability journey - either because it's been consumed, or must be removed from the supply chain for any number of reasons, such as damage, a defect, or a recall.
- Navigate to the Products page from the left-side menu
- In the Products page, select the product that has the item or lot you want to decommission
- Under Current Inventory, select the item that you want to decommission by checking the box immediately to its left
- Once you have selected the item/lot, click on the Actions dropdown menu on the top left corner and select Decommission
- You'll be prompted to fill out information regarding the item's decommission
- Select the date the item was decommissioned, a reason for decommissioning, and the option to provide a description if any further clarification is needed.
- Click Log Event, and the item(s) will automatically relocate to the Decommission / Archive tab in your selected products menu.
Note: You can decommission part of an item's available quantity or the entire quantity by changing the quantity field in the decommission event drawer.
Note: If you selected multiple items to decommission that were decommissioned on different dates, select the "Multiple Dates" checkbox and add dates for each item.
Note: If you wish to include custom data that is different for each item, use a CSV to upload the data including rows of custom data for every lot.
Note: The item is still visible but cannot be used to log events.
