Hi all,

again i`m in need of your expertise and knowledge.

My scenario: in the future we want to put some license plates on a blocked location to restrict inbound on them.

What i tried so far:

I blocked one location in our warehouse for inbound, this works also very well if i`m using journals to move items and license plates.

The weird part is, that i can still move items and license plates to the blocked location via the WHS Scanner. Does anyone has a clue why this is possible?

The setup you have done is for basic warehousing but you are using advanced warehousing. That's why the blocking function is not working.

You can do the same for advanced warehousing by using the below fields.

You want certain license plates not to be moved. That requires manual intervention. You can also use:

use batch disposition codes for batch-controlled items, or

inventory blocking form for non-batch controlled items

Hi Dogan,

attached are my steps.

1-Inventory management > Setup > Inventory > Blocking causes.

define cause of blocking id and description as the below

assign causes blocking for inventory locations

2-Inventory management > Setup > Inventory breakdown > Inventory locations

you can block inputs only , outputs only or both as the below

now , we can test this feature , just create movement journal and validate

3-Inventory management > journal entries > items > movement journal

click new and select your journals

click ok to open lines form

add item and select your location , enter qty and offset account ...etc

click validate to check our setup for this location

click ok , you can see the below message

this transaction for input , you can check the same scenario for output transaction , just put qty by negative

Amel hi.

Could you consider to use a different inventory status? With this you could:

* Have a quick access to all the LPs with this blicking status

* If you setup the location profile to not accept multiple inventory statuses, when the user attempts to add on-hand in that LP will throw an error

Hi,

Could you please explain what configurations you did to block the location?
