Zone Blocking by Transaction (whwmd6112m000)
Use this session to block or unblock zones for specific transactions.
A block can be imposed on a specific zone for a particular transaction by selecting the check box for that transaction. Blocked zones are no longer available for transactions where the block was set. The same block is lifted by clearing the check box for that transaction.
When a block for a specific transaction on a zone is selected, the block is reflected in the blocking fields in the Warehouse - Storage Zones (whwmd3110s000) session. The block is also reflected in the Warehouse - Location (whwmd3100s000) session for all locations that belong to the zone.
The inventory data in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session is updated after you block or unblock a zone for all relevant items and lots.
