Goal: Our company needs to limit issuing to only floor stock locations. When manually issuing materials, we would like to only see the material in the floor stock locations as an option to issue. 

Current Practice: We are managing this via an availability control and a custom event where inventory in a picking location has the availability control AFB99 which is then removed when moving the inventory to a floor stock location. AFB99 does not allow issuing so stock in that control does not appear as an option when trying to manually issue material.

• Issue:  When we move material from picking to floor stock, it initially keeps that AFB99 control before the event removes it. Therefore, if another inventory stock record has the same part/lot combination and already exists in the floor stock with no Availability Control (which is very common), wadaco requires a wdr number. We would prefer not to utilize the wdr number regularly since it is a free field so operations has to guess which character to input until wadaco accepts.

Question: Any ideas on a different way to achieve the desired goal? Or a way to modify our current process?
