Inventory location group

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

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.

Hello

I have found the Inventory location group/types are (Picking/Arrival/QA).

For highlighting/blocking stock from being used, I created my own inventory location under QA-Quality assurance & named the location description “Quarantine” & then named the location No with a specific bin identity (i.e. A1-Quarantine). I find freezing the stock also prevents picking/reserving etc. Its worth noting that your “Inventory Parts In Stock screen should have the columns aligned so that users can see the information that is best suited to your requirements (use the column chooser settings to arrange)
