We have shop orders in process that will be completed but cannot ship until quality approves shipping. 

Inventory is lot tracked. We cannot put availability control on the lot because the shop order is still in process. What is the best practice to prevent a shop order from shipping when it is completed? Can availability control be setup ahead of time so that when the shop order is received into inventory, there is a control on it?

Hi Eric,

Do you want to restrict Finish Good Shipment delivery until Shop Order closure or do you want to ensure FG inspection before Shipment delivery even Shop Order is in open status.

For both scenarios, you have to configure a custom event Since I do not think availability control id setup would provide any stable solution.

I want to restrict FG delivery of the lot that will be produced by the shop order and set it up prior to the shop order being received. If we wait to setup availability control until after the shop order is received, timing could be an issue, and parts could fall through the crack and ship. 

Tasking an ERP admin to setup custom events for handling individual orders isn’t viable. 

Thanks for your reply :)


@ewats in the Warehouse Navigator you can set up a default Availability Control on the inventory location(s) into which the shop order(s) will be received. This takes out the effort and timing gap when manually assigning the AC. These default ACs can be defined at the level that suits your needs; warehouse, bay, row, tier, or bin.


Utilizing availability control on inventory locations the shop order is received into is a great suggestion. We could have the shop orders default to being received into our MRB location which doesn’t allow shipments. 

Thanks Matt!
