To block and unblockYou can block the inbound movement, outbound movement, transfer (receipt, issue), or assembly of items in these ways:
Blocking stock points A stock point block blocks these types of transaction for the affected stock points:
Also, a stock point block increases the quantity of the inventory on hold and decreases the quantity of the inventory available. When you impose a stock point block, you must specify a reason code of either of these types:
To impose stock point blockings, you can block any of these objects:
After blocking a zone, location, lot, handling unit, or stock point, the resulting blocked stock points are displayed in the Blocked Stock Points (whwmd6550m000) session. Blocking project pegged inventory If you block a zone, location, lot, handling unit, or stock point, the project pegged inventory contained in these objects is also blocked. See Manual blocking and project pegged inventory. Multiple blocks for the same stock points Various blockings can affect the same stock points. In such cases, the highest blocked stock-point quantity prevails. Example A user manually blocks a location. Among various other items, this location holds 6 pieces of a particular lot. Another user then blocks the lot, which has a total quantity of 25. Of the blocked quantities for the lot, 25 is the higher. Therefore, LN sets the blocked stock point quantity for the lot to 25. Blocking transactions A transaction block is a block imposed on transactions of these types:
If you block specific types of transactions, the inventory on hold of the affected items is not increased. The inventory is just blocked for inbound, outbound, assembly, or transshipment. With transaction blocks, no individual stock points are blocked, and there is no impact on the inventory levels or on Enterprise Planning. You can impose transaction blocks on these objects: Blocking warehouses for inbound and outbound
transactions You can block a warehouse for all inbound transactions, all outbound transactions, or both. A block on a warehouse is either full or interactive. Full block means that no transactions are allowed. Interactive means that the user can manually override some of the blocks on inbound or outbound transactions. Blocking transactions for zones, locations, lots, and stock
points For zones, location, lots, and stock points, you can impose a transaction block for each type of transaction. For these objects, interactive blocks are unavailable. A full or an interactive block imposed on a warehouse also applies to any zones or locations of the warehouse. If the warehouse is blocked for inbound transactions, the zones and locations of the warehouse that accommodate receipts are also blocked. Similarly, a warehouse blocking on outbound transactions blocks the zones or locations for outbound transactions. If a warehouse is not blocked for inbound transactions, you can impose inbound blocks on the zones and locations of the warehouse, and if a warehouse is not blocked for outbound transactions, you can impose outbound blocks on the zones and locations. Similarly, blockings set for zones override those set for locations. If a zone is blocked for a type of transaction, the locations of the zone are also blocked for this type of transaction.
