Item blocking in Ax 2009

sesh

It was possible to block items on Setup tab of Item form in AX 3.0, but this option (the 'block' check-box) seems to be missing on the same tab in AX 2009. Does anyone know if it has been placed elsewhere, or if there is any new parameter setting to make this visible?

Go to the Setup button > Default order settings, click on the tabs and it can be stopped for Purchase, Stock or Sales

If you have configured the Site dimension this block is also done by order type and site as well!

Thanks.

I did see the 'Stopped' options before posting, but I didn't know if the functionality of 'Blocked' and 'Stopped' were the same. Could anyone confirm if they are?

AdamRoue

Yes they are.

Thanks. When I try to use an item that has been 'Stopped', the message reads 'Item is on hold'. Thanks for all your inputs.

hold, stopped or blocked are pretty interchangeable - the idea is you cannot use it
