How to I restrict a product to one location?

SUGGESTED

Hello,

I have a product assigned to a dedicated location, however during receipt and stock changes, I can move that product to any location.  The product must not be moved to any other location due to federal regulations.

How do I prevent the movement of this product from its dedicated location?

    Hi  

    If you have the problem for a single product, I can suggest to use a specific sub-status for this stock and use the authorized substatuses to autorize it only on the location assigned to the product and prevent this stock to go to others locations;

    If you have the same issue on multiple products, you can try to use warehouse (if the related product-waehouse is not created the stock cannot be stored in the warehouse), or use dedicated on all locations and don't assign this product on the other location (quite painful to setup).

    All these ideas are workarounds, because I don't see a straight forward solution to your need.

    Maybe a control table can do the job nicely to enforce, for some products, that the location is always their default location set on the product-site.

    Of course some developments would do the job (probably entry point  CTRSTKLOC : 'Used to perform checks when choosing or allocating a location' in the script STKLOC).

    Thank you Julien.  I was wondering about warehousing as well.  I didn't think about setting all locations as dedicated; a bit tedious.  I am going to test out the sub-status and warehousing, due to time constraints.

    Thank you so much for the quick response!

    Warehousing works good, except, I can still move it to a subcontractor location.  Any thoughts on this?

    You are correct. Maybe you can combine warehouse mgft with dedicated locations for subcintracting location?

    I wonder if we are not in a situation where implementing work arounds wouldn't be more time consuming than a custom development.
