Hi,

We follow the following process in purchase order cycle.

Purchase Order Receipt
Quarantine Incoming items (Automatic Quarantine as soon PO is packing slip updated)
Determining what to put in and what is defective at Quarantine order
Defective items will be moved to "Return warehouse" and remaining would be registered as on-hand inventory

Still we didn't decide any action on what to do with defective items (should we dispose on vendor request or should we return it to vendor for replacement, and this decision generally takes couple of days).

My question here is, how can I block defective items for the time being at Return warehouse(until decision has been taken) so as to not allow anyone to use it by mistake ?

Any pointer is highly appreciated.

Hi Rahul.

All of the below applies to AX2009.

I've been working on a similar issue. A colleage of mine recommended the locations blocking feature. In invent management go to setup, inventory breakdown, open "locations". On any location, go to the "other" tab. There is a group "blocking". Haven't tried that out yet, but my colleague says that if you fill those fields the location is blocked for user postings as well as postings through code.

The problem is of course that to be able to post to that location yourself you will have to temporarily disable the blocking. And users could manually disable it.

As far as I see from the code the two fields are only read in two places in AX, so it should be relatively easy to add an own field to have similar behavior and not show it to the (regular) users.

I still have to think about that, but eventually I will implement somethiing along these lines.
