Background: Morgue Serial Numbers
Use the Morgue Serial Numbers (MRG) program to morgue a serial number or reverse a serial number's morgued status. See Road Map for work flow.

Morgued Status
Morgued status can be applied to serialized items, but not to lot number items. When a serialized item has a morgued status, it cannot be processed in future transactions. The serial number is not deleted, but becomes inactive or out of service.
When a rejected serialized item is scrapped through the material review board (see Rejected Material Disposition), the serial number is morgued. The morgued status can be reversed with this program, if necessary.
You can "morgue" (i.e., apply a morgued status to) or "un-morgue" serialized item numbers with this program. You specify a reason for changing the status by selecting a code that you set up with the Morgue Inventory Codes Maintenance (TMOR) program.
When is Morgueing a Serial Number Not Allowed?
A serial number cannot be morgued if the item is:
-
in stock—the item must be scrapped first.
-
a pre-assigned unreceived serial number.
-
on an open RMA.
-
pending disposition on an MRB tag.
-
a component on an open manufacturing order—once the manufacturing order is closed (complete or short) then the serial number can be morgued.
-
on a sales order that has been obligated, but not yet invoiced, or a transfer that has been obligated, but not yet received.
REPLC Status
The REPLC code is used when a repair order is received as a different item and the original serial number is assigned to the new item.
