Hello

Can someone please advise the functionality of LOT No. Blocking.

If I "block" a LOT I understand that this specifies that the related record is blocked from being posted in transactions, for example a customer that is declared insolvent or an item that is placed in quarantine. However, does this mean the inventory on the "blocked" LOT is still considered available for Planning Worksheet?

Example:

If I have a total of 100 inventory

LOT A - 50 (unblocked)
LOT B - 50 (blocked)

Demand of 100

Will the Planning Worksheet say I need to make 50 or consider that I have the full amount of inventory (100) to meet the demand (100)?

Thanks,

Flick

Based on Valentin's response, if you don't want the Planning to consider the Blocked Lot, I suggest you do an Item Reclass and move it to a Quarantine Location. This way it removes it from the quantity available in your useable Location.

The planning engine does not take into account the blocked field on the lot no. information card. In your case its going to consider that you have the full amount of inventory of 100 to meet the demand of 100.
