Resolve held cuts, missing stock and label exceptions

Use a supervisor decision that preserves the actual measurements, identity and physical outcome.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Supervisor, Operator

On this page

An exception means the recorded stock cannot continue through the ordinary path with confidence. Keep the physical object identifiable, read the current state and ask a supervisor to select the appropriate action in Supervision. Operators should not repair the record by making a second registration.

Match the action to the problem

A supervisor can correct length, uncertainty, condition or batch with a reason and evidence. A correction can supersede the label, end a reservation and send stock for verification at its bin. Damaged or unknown condition sends it to quarantine. Material reclassification requires quarantine and recent second-factor verification.

Replace a label through the controlled label action when the identity is established. A new generation makes earlier labels stop scanning. If two objects carry the same identity, investigate the duplicate rather than simply printing another copy. A duplicate registration can be retired and linked to the surviving record while both histories remain.

Resolve physical outcomes honestly

For a held cut, review the frozen plan and actual observations. Resolution can use a corrected source measurement that balances the recorded result, or a truthful exceptional result. The parent is consumed, the child is quarantined and the held proposal remains in history.

For a missing piece, record why it is missing and preserve its last seen bin. A found or reviewed piece follows reconciliation with a fresh measurement and label. A missing piece can be written off by decision; a piece physically present for disposal requires a disposal decision followed by current-label confirmation at the station.

Follow the consequences

Taking over someone else's work and releasing their reservation are explicit supervisor actions needing a recent authenticator check. A dispute about a finished cut withholds live descendants without rewriting the earlier lineage. Inspect the affected work after the decision.

Do not promise that closing a rack review clears its discrepancies. Use Check a rack, then apply each required correction or reconciliation. The intended result is a dependable record of what is known, including any remaining uncertainty.
