Decommission

Decommission is the event type that captures the end of a traceability journey - either because an item has been consumed, or must be removed from the supply chain for another reason such as damage, or a product recall. You might also decommission an item if you made a logging error and would like to start over with the first event in the supply chain.

1

Navigate to the Products page on the left-side menu

2

Select the product that contains the item you want to decommission. Under Current Inventory, select the item(s) that you want to decommission using the select boxes

3

Click  Actions > Decommission

4

You'll be prompted to enter a quantity, date, reason and description for the Decommission event. If you selected multiple items that were decommissioned on different dates, select the "Multiple Dates" checkbox at the top and add dates for each item

5

You also have the option to use a Custom Data Template. If you wish to include custom data, select your template and add the relevant data manually or by CSV. If you do not wish to include any custom data, simply select "None"

Note: If you wish to include custom data that is unique to each item, use a CSV to upload the data, where each row corresponds to each line item you are decommissioning. Learn more about adding custom data to events here. 

6

Click Log Event, and the item(s) will automatically relocate to the Decommission / Archive tab. You can still view the details of this event, but decommissioned items cannot be used to future log events
