The “Route Unserviceable Component/Parts” page appears.

Unserviceable Routing WH #

Use the drop-down list box to specify the warehouse from which the unserviceable components or parts must be routed. Mandatory. The system lists all the warehouses defined as “Unserviceable Recv. Warehouse” under the “Set Options” activity and for which the login user has access rights, along with the value “ALL”.

If you select “ALL”, the system retrieves the details of all the unserviceable parts/components available in the list of all Unserviceable Warehouses identified as 'Unserviceable Recv. Warehouse'.

The value “ALL” is not listed if the ‘Unserviceable Recv. Warehouses’ are not defined in the “Set Options” activity.

The system displays the following field:

Warehouse Description

The textual description of the selected warehouse.

Zone #

Use the drop-down list box to specify the zone in the unserviceable routing warehouse. The drop-down list box shows all the zones in the selected unserviceable routing warehouse as defined in the “Storage Administration” business component and “ALL”.

The system finds all the unserviceable parts / components from the zone that you have specified here.

To find unserviceable parts from all zones of the warehouse, select “ALL”. By default, this field is set to “ALL”, if you have selected ”ALL” in the Unserviceable Routing WH # field.
