The appearance of a W/D/R (Waiver, Deviation, Rejection) number means that the parts are wrong in some way or that they deviate from the standard. Use the Change W/D/R No dialog to change or enter a new W/D/R number. The field will accept alphanumeric characters. The purpose of this functionality is to indicate which parts are wrong. If only some of the parts in a batch are affected, you have the option to indicate that this is the case.
Change of W/D/R number can also be applied for a handling unit and then all the inventory location records connected to that handling unit ID inherit the applied W/D/R. The change of W/D/R number will affect the content of the handling unit including handling units lower in the structure. The actual change of W/D/R number is done on each inventory part in stock record attached to the handling unit and its sub structure.
To Change W/D/R number from the Inventory Part In Stock and Handling Unit pages,use command Availability>Change W/D/R and Change W/D/R No dialog will open.
As a result of this activity, the W/D/R number is changed or entered. If the quantity field in the Change W/D/R No dialog is changed, the part location record is divided into additional locations.
When applied on a handling unit it is all the inventory location records attached to that HU and its underlying structure that will have the new availability control ID.
