A disposition type defines a disposition decision for your organization: its name, how it affects the availability of the affected inventory, and which roles must approve it before the issue can progress.
Add a disposition type
- In ION, go to Settings > Quality > Issues.
- In the Disposition types section, type a name in New disposition type name and click Add.
Expand a disposition type to set:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|
| Active | Makes the type available to apply to issues. Turn it off to retire a type without deleting it. |
| Disposition type name | The label shown when choosing a disposition. |
| Description | Optional explanation of when to use the type. |
| Availability | How the affected inventory behaves once the disposition is applied. Changing it prompts a confirmation that shows how much inventory is affected. |
| Auto-resolve | When on, issues with this disposition resolve automatically once approved, skipping In Review. |
| Option | Effect |
|---|
| Available Immediately | Inventory is available as soon as the disposition is applied. |
| Release on Resolve | Inventory becomes available only when the issue reaches Resolved. |
| Permanently Unavailable | Inventory stays locked out. |
Approval roles
Each disposition type defines who must approve at each stage of the issue:
- Approver Roles: must approve before an issue can leave Pending.
- Closure Roles: must approve before an issue can reach Resolved.
Click Add role in either section to add a role, and set the number of approvers required from that role.
Edit a disposition type
Expand the type and change its fields in place. The name and description save when you click away; Active and Auto-resolve save as soon as you toggle them. Changing Availability prompts a confirmation before it takes effect.
Delete a disposition type
Click the trash icon on the disposition type.
To stop offering a type without removing it, turn off Active instead.
