Manage disposition types - ION Manual
Disposition Type Overview
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.
Configure a Disposition Type
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. |
The Availability options are:
| 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. On an expanded disposition type in Settings > Quality > Issues:
- In Approver Roles, click Add role and set the number of approvers required from that role. These roles must approve before an issue can leave Pending.
- In Closure Roles, click Add role and set the number of approvers required. These roles must approve before an issue can reach Resolved.
To remove a role from either list, click the remove control next to it.
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.
