Hide/Quarantine the On Hand Balance/Supply

[JB87]

There is specific inventory that gets received in E1 and shows a supply but we do not want the inventory shown in Item Availability/MRP. Also, after a period of time we would like to bring this same hidden inventory out of hiding and shown in Item Availability/MRP. The part numbers we would like to hide are also used frequently/simultaneously on other BOMs in E1. We could use temporary inventory adjustments but that's not accurate, efficient or safe. How could we make this work effectively?

Thanks

Are you familiar with Receipt Routing?

With Receipt routing you can identify specific Items, or Suppliers, or combinations to go through a "Receipt Routing" process for purposes of inspection, quarantine, etc before moving to Stock and becoming available. At time of Receipt if the Item/Supplier is flagged for RR it automatically goes into RR instead of into stock.

Its a fairly simple setup in JDE - but you do need to invest some time.

One other option is to move the inventory to a location with a non-blank location status, and then set up MRP and Supply/Demand processing options to exclude that specific location status. Once you're ready to have the system look at these items, just do an inventory transfer to another location with a blank location status.

Thank you for your suggestions! I'll look into both of them.
