Before you begin
About this task
- Dispose multiple defects at the same time for a serialized product.Note: You cannot dispose multiple defects at the same time for a non-serialized product.
- Dispose a single defect for a non-serialized product.
The following conditions apply when you dispose a defect for a serialized product:
- If a defect has been added to a plan, you cannot dispose it separately; you can only dispose all the defects in the plan together.
- If a defect has already been disposed using one of the following methods, you cannot dispose it again:
- Clear
- Use as is

Procedure
- Access the defect that you want to dispose.Note: You can dispose a defect only if it is in the Submitted status, which is indicated by

. The Disposition Plan window appears. - Provide values as specified in the following table.
Box Description SERIAL/LOT# This section contains the lot number and the quantity of defective pieces in the lot. Select the lot. Tip: To access the non-conformance number, the name of the user who created the non-conformance, and the date and time at which the non-conformance has been created, click
.DISPOSITIONS Select an option as described in the following table. Option Description CLEAR Select this option if the defects raised for the non-conformance are not considered as defects. Continue to process (CTP) Select this option if you want to allow work on the serials/lots, and then select the operation until which you can continue the work, in the USE UNTIL/REWORK OPERATION drop-down list box. When you do so, the status of the operation during which the defect was raised changes from on hold to in progress, and the operation that you select in the USE UNTIL/REWORK OPERATION box changes to On Hold. Note: If the operation at which the non-conformance has been created on the serial/lot is the last operation in the route, you cannot select this disposition method.Note: When a non conformance is disposed as CTP to a mutually exclusive operation, then all the operations in that mutually exclusive set will go on hold by default.SCRAP Select this option if you want to discard the defective serials/lots. USE AS IS Select this option to use the serials/lots in the operations as they are. REWORK Select this option to rework on the serials/lots, and then select the operation during which the serials/lots should be reworked, in the USE UNTIL/REWORK OPERATION box. Note: In the list of operations to be reworked, the excluded operations from the mutually exclusive set will not appear.MRB Select MRB to indicate that the defects must be reviewed by the material board, thus deferring the disposition to a later date. This will allow the quality team in your organization to determine the correct disposition method. USE UNTIL OPERATION This box appears only for the following disposition methods: - ReworkNote: In the list of operations to be reworked, the excluded operations from the mutually exclusive set will not appear.
- Continue to processNote: When a non conformance is disposed as CTP to a mutually exclusive operation, then all the operations in that mutually exclusive set will go on hold by default.
Select the operation until which the serial/lot can be processed. A value is required. After the serial/lot reaches the operation that you have specified, it must be disposed again.
APPROVAL WORKFLOW Select the approval workflow(s) if you need approval to dispose the defect. The approval workflow(s) are created in the Approval Cockpit application and then the workflow must be assigned in the Plant Applications Web Admin. Refer to 'Create a Workflow' and the 'Non-Conformance Management' chapter in the Plant Applications Web Admin User's Guide. Note:- You must have administrative access to configure the dispositions and to assign approval workflows in the Plant Applications Web Admin.
- Multiple workflows can be assigned to a disposition type in the Plant Applications Web Admin, but only one workflow can be selected during the disposition process in the Non Conformance application.
The delegated approver groups in the workflow must provide their approval (in the Approval Cockpit application) to dispose the defect. The status will be Pending Approval until the disposition is approved. Refer to Approve or Reject a Workflow.
If the approval workflow is not created in the Plant Applications Web Admin, the Approval Workflow list is empty, this indicates the disposition for the defect does not require any approval and the defect can be disposed without any approval.
SELECT DISPOSITION ACTION REASON Select a corrective disposition action reason and the associated subreasons, as applicable. Tip: In the Search box, enter a disposition action reason to search for, and then select the reason from the reasons list.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Enter any relevant information, such as a URL, contact details of the supplier, or any information that is helpful to perform the root cause analysis of the non-conformance. - Rework
- Select Submit.
