Exam MB-330 topic 3 question 31 discussion

The given answers are accurate. a. Stop an item for purchase or sale. Change the inventory status to block Stop an item for purchase or sale: This refers to using Default order settings to set the "Stopped" flag on the Purchase and/or Sales tabs, preventing the item from being added to purchase orders or sales orders. a. Create variables and outcomes and set pass/fail This refers to setting up quality control parameters in the system by defining test variables (e.g.,measurable attributes like "leak rate") and test outcomes (e.g., pass/fail criteria).

A few notes on the first question (please correct me if in error) 1. You can't block an item group. 2. Technically you could create a movement journal to hold items *if* it has storage dimension "inventory status." You could literally just create a movement for all on-hand quantities of the item, and change nothing but the inventory status from (for example) "available" to "blocked." 3. I still don't understand what exactly the difference is between stopping an item via the default order settings vs. stopping an item via manual inventory blocking. 4. E.g., if I stop the item via the DOS (inventory / sales / purchase) is the effect identical to if I were to block the inventory via inventory blocking?
