Hello ALL,

What’s the best location type to stock parts that are meant to be quarantined? Users should not be able to reserve this stock. (I am in cloud)

Thank you in advance,

Hanane

Hello

We have always used Part Availability Controls rather than specific location types to manage what users can reserve/issue etc. The table is found in 

You can set your own control ids and these are added to individual Inventory Parts In Stock records when needed

If you always need to quarantine and then release stock you could consider Condition Codes - but you need to test this really well for your business process because once Condition Code has been “switched on” for a part it cannot be “switched off”

Hope this basic info helps to find a solution

regards

    Hi ​@Hanane

     

    agree with ​@ralryoung but I want to add that on a high level you can apply a Part Availability Control basically 2 ways:

     

    • Manually through IPIS(Inventory Parts In Stock).
    • Give a Warehouse(or any level in a warehouse, be it Bay, Row, Tier, Bin) a default Availability Control.

     

    The former is for ad-hoc needs to quarantine an already existing IPIS record.

    The latter conversely works so that when parts enter a location, which has a default Availability Control, then the new IPIS record automatically inherits the default Availability Control value.
