Inventory blocking including or excluding Enterprise Planning

Enterprise Planning may require information of blocked inventory.

For example, if a lot is blocked for a quick inspection on the packing materials and you expect to lift the blocking shortly, Enterprise Planning does not require this information. On the other hand, if you expect the lot to be withdrawn from inventory, Enterprise Planning must be informed that this lot is no longer part of the available inventory.

In the first case, you must select a reason code of reason type Inventory Blocking excluding EP. Consequently, Enterprise Planning ignores this type of blocking and regards the blocked inventory as available inventory. In the latter case, you must select a reason code of reason type Inventory Blocking including EP.
