MRB (Material Review Board) Warehouse Overview

The MRB (Material Review Board) Warehouse is where rejected material found at time of PO receiving or in production is transferred through inventory handling into the WHSE so management has time to determine whether to return discrepant material to the Supplier. It is a non-netable account meaning qty's residing in this WHSE are not consider as available inventory for MRP demands or production needs.
