Hi there
To add the the first response, in addition to moving the stock to a virtual location, you could also configure the "Inventory status change" batch job to recur automatically. This way, you could have the system automatically update the inventory status for you, for all inventory within this virtual location.
Steps to achieve this would be:
Configuration:
1. Configure virtual location
2. Navigate to Warehouse management > Periodic tasks > Inventory status change
3. Set batch to recur automatically (and specifically) for the new virtual location you created
Process:
1. Process transfer journal to move the stock to the virtual location
2. Batch job will run and automatically update the inventory status
I do recognise however, that once the inventory status is set to blocked, it will not be possible to process the transfer journal to move it back to the original location...
Are you able to elaborate more as to why you want to block the stock in the first place?
Is segregating stock by location acceptable?
