We can block item for Sales and Purchase. Is it possible to block the item for Production?
We can create production order for purchase item even if we did not assign any BOM or routing to item. If anyone by mistake create production order for this item (which BC does not stop the user to do it) then for companies with Average cost it effect Unit Cost (item will post as $0) and inventory. If we can block the item for Production then we can prevent this mistake. We can purchase the item but we cannot create production order for it.
Also, we can temporary block item from production if we have QA issue or temporary freeze for any other reason.
Thanks

This idea seems to have lots of votes over recent years, is there an update to know if it has been added to the roadmap?
From an Operational point of view it is quite frustrating when we want to block an item from being manufacturing if an issue has been noted, but I still want to be able to sell the existing inventory and enable sales orders to be placed, there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to prevent the item from being manufactured without affecting other areas of the business.

I would like to add a suggestion regarding this matter.
It could be interesting let to create a production order but it will be important that this one does not be released (means become operating) in order to really block production.
Often is necessary to create an order even if teh Item is still "in progress", this is indipendet to the replenishment system.
thank you in advance for your attention
