Hi everyone.
We have a need to block certain inventory locations so sales orders does not reserve stock against the locations.
The locations that should be blocked is Returns, Receiving, and Binning.
The stock gets received on a scanner (advanced warehouse management) and gets registered on the system. From receiving it gets picked into the binning location (stage). From the binning location the items gets picked by the binner to the warehous bin location where the sales picking should be from.
The problem we are facing is that when a sales order is created for a item which only has stock in receiving/binning/returns, the system reserves the stock from there and work is created for the sales picker to pick from those locations.
We have set up and tested the locations with the 'output blocked' options and still the system reserves the stock from those locations.
What setup is needed for the release to warehouse batch job from the sales order to exclude those locations (we have tried manually excluding them on the batch job query).
Any help will be appreciated.
