Examples and Scenarios

Scenario: Bulk blocking of inactive items

Need: A company discontinues 50 seasonal products after the season ends. Instead of blocking each item manually, the warehouse manager wants to block them all at once.

Steps:

  1. Open Item List.
  2. Select items to block (use filters or select manually).
  3. Click the Block Selected action and choose the blocking option (e.g., All).

Result: All selected items are blocked in a single operation. They cannot be used in new sales or purchase documents until the block is removed.

Scenario: Temporarily blocking a vendor during an audit

Need: The compliance department requires blocking a vendor during document verification. Buyers should not be able to create new purchase orders for this vendor.

Steps:

  1. Open Vendor List.
  2. Select the vendor (or multiple vendors) to block.
  3. Click Block Selected → choose All.

Result: Attempting to create a purchase order for the blocked vendor results in an error message. After the audit is complete, simply unblock the vendor using the same action.

Tip

The function also works for unblocking — select vendors and set the Blocked field to an empty value.
