Zone/Location Blocking (whwmd6110m000)
Use this session to block or unblock single locations or a subset of locations by (un)blocking a warehouse or a zone. By unblocking a location, you make the location available again for inventory transactions.
Insert a line to set a block. You can set more blocks on a location by entering more blocking reasons for each warehouse, zone, or location.
Delete a line to unblock. When all blocks imposed on a warehouse, zone, or location are removed, the warehouse, zone, or location is unblocked. You cannot delete a block inserted by another user.
When a block for a zone or location is set or lifted, the inventory on hold, the item inventory, and the lot quantity are updated.
