When using lot tracking in Business Central, the Blocked field on the Lot Information Card provides an initial indication of a lot's status. While this field is considered in some transactions, its impact is limited and inconsistent.

Several existing ideas suggest enhancing how the Blocked status is handled, but one critical gap remains: Blocked lots are still considered part of available inventory and are included in MRP planning calculations. This can lead to inaccurate planning and potential operational issues.

Suggested Improvement:

• Ensure that lots marked as Blocked are excluded from:
• Available inventory calculations
• Planning Worksheet (MRP) suggestions
• Provide clear visibility and filtering options in planning tools to distinguish blocked lots from usable stock.

Business Impact:

This change would improve planning accuracy, reduce the risk of using non-compliant or quarantined stock, and align inventory availability with operational reality.
