Overview
In some industries, for example the food industry, manufacturers and distributors are frequently required to restrict specific warehouse and inventory transactions. Products may be restricted due to quality issues through inbound, outbound, or internal warehouse activities.
Items may be temporarily blocked upon arrival at the warehouse for audit procedures, and if they fail to meet quality specifications, they may be restricted from further transactions. Similarly, items may be restricted for inspection during the shipment process. During the production process, finished goods or work-in-progress may need to be restricted and placed in a bin for quarantine purposes.
With the Inventory Restrictions app, you can easily restrict inventory through inbound, outbound, and warehouse processes. The user can restrict the entire quantity of an item-lot or a portion of it, and then release it from the restricted condition. The Inventory Restrictions app provides the user with the following features and capabilities:
Define a variety of inventory restriction codes to restrict inbound, outbound and movement transactions.
Apply multiple restriction codes to an item-variant/lot/serial/package.
Apply inventory restriction codes to a portion of an item-lot.
Define default restrictions for an item.
