About This Walkthrough

This walkthrough provides an overview on how to do the following:

Story

A vendor has notified the JF Company that a shipment of ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR item was contaminated. From the purchase receipt, the JF Company can see that the item number for the flour was R100440 and the lot number was LOT0000332. Using that information, the JF Company can perform an item recall to see where that lot was used. The item recall will show where the R100440 item is located, and if it was used in any Work-In-Progress (WIP) or Finished 1. Good (FG) items, and if any of those items were sold to customers. The JF Company can then start their item recall Process.
