Step by step

  1. Open Inventory → Quarantine.
  2. Choose Quarantine stock, then select the product, location, quantity and reason. Add a note describing the hold.
  3. Confirm the hold and review it in the held-stock list.
  4. When the issue is resolved, use Release on the held stock and record the reason.
  5. Review History or the Quarantine trail for earlier holds and releases.

Good to know

Quarantined stock still counts as on hand. The register refuses to sell it. A hold is not a disposal or write-off.
