Block by Quality If you create a storage inspection in Quality, LN automatically blocks the stock point or quantity to be inspected.

The Reason for Blocking is the Reason for Storage Inspection as specified in the Master Data Parameters (whwmd0100s000) session. You cannot manually unblock the stock point by deleting the record. LN unblocks the stock point when the storage inspection is closed. Note When you start to block or unblock, your logon code and the current date and time are recorded. LN stores this information to prevent other users from (un)blocking these lots. Blocking and unblocking a stock point will affect the inventory data recorded in the Stock Point Inventory (whinr1540m000) session. Non-Conforming Material Report (NCMR) You can view the NCMR for a specific stock point using the Report button, only if the Non-Conformance Implemented check box is selected in the Quality Management Parameters (qmptc0100m000) session.

The following sort options are available: Non-Conforming Material Report, Warehouse, Location, Item, Lot, Inventory Date, Reason for Blocking and Sequence. Unblocking a stock point To unblock a stock point, select and delete the appropriate line. Only the user who blocked the stock point can unblock the stock point again.

Location A distinct place in a warehouse where goods are stored. A warehouse can be divided into locations to manage the available space, and to locate the stored goods. Storage conditions and blocks can be applied to individual locations. Item In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) Lot A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods. Inventory Date A date that is assigned to items when they are stored. You can use inventory dates to retrieve items based on FIFO (First In First Out) or LIFO (Last In First Out), without carrying out extensive lot control. The meaning of the inventory date is connected to the outbound priority of LIFO, FIFO, or the product expiry date of the item. With outbound priority LIFO or FIFO, the default for the inventory date is the system date; however, you can overwrite this so that the inventory date does not have to be equal to the storage date. If the item has a particular shelf life, the inventory date is the product expiry date defined for the item. Reason for Blocking The reason of the blocking. This reason can be linked to a blocking of a zone, location, lot, stock point, or serialized item. Non-Conforming Material Report The non-conforming material report (NCMR) number.
