Introduction

This document provides instructions for defining Redo Codes using Tray Track Stations. When a job is entered or relaunched from the archive, use Redo Reasons for warranty, non-adapt, or other reasons. Use Redo Reasons in reporting to track redo activity by the lab and the reason.

There is an alternative procedure for setting up Redo Reasons using Job Data Definitions, Triggers and Reasons. Refer to the Redo Reasons Setup & Process (using Job Data Definitions, Triggers, and Reasons) document for full instructions.
