Manual blocking and project pegged inventory

If the inventory contained in these elements includes project pegged inventory, LN uses this sequence to determine the pegs that must be blocked:

  1. Block unpegged inventory.
  2. Block pegged inventory with excess and partly or entirely block the excess quantity alphabetically.
  3. Block pegged inventory with available-to-transfer and partly or entirely block the available-to-transfer quantity alphabetically.
  4. Block the pegged inventory without excess and without available to transfer by the latest next requirement date.

The blocked project peg and ownership information is displayed in the Blocked Stock Point Details (whwmd6152m000) session. This session allows you to manually adjust the project peg blockings generated by LN.

When you close the Blocked Stock Point Details (whwmd6152m000) session after adjusting the blocked project peg details, LN checks if the total blocked quantity of the pegs is equal to the blocked quantity of the previously imposed manual peg of type zone/location, lot, handling unit or stock point.

For example, if you specify a manual block of type lot in the Lot Blocking (whwmd6120m000) session and adjust the project pegged quantities in the Blocked Stock Point Details (whwmd6152m000) session, the blocked quantities in the Blocked Stock Point Details (whwmd6152m000) session are not allowed to exceed the blocked quantities resulting from the blocked lot in the Lot Blocking (whwmd6120m000) session.

LN also allows you to block the project inventory that is located in a project warehouse. You must manually assign the blocked stock to pegs. Consequentially, you can enter blocked quantities only from the peg distribution. The blocked quantity cannot be specified at the header level. Based on the reason type, the blocked quantity is also adjusted in the Project Pegged Inventory (whwmd2560m000) session.

LN allows you to block quantities for multiple reasons and by multiple users. The maximum number of the manually blocked and process blocked quantities is displayed in the Project Pegged Inventory (whwmd2560m000) session. For example, a user blocks a peg for quantity 3 and another user blocks the same peg for quantity 4. The quantity 4 is displayed as the quantity blocked for the peg.
