More blocking codes for technical & sales reasons (There simply isn't enough)

No description provided
Current Problem

Blocking codes:

There aren't enough statuses in MS, it's either available stock or it's on quarantine, that's it. I have clients that require stock and inventory to be placed on multiple statuses so they can identify why it's been quarantined. You can have damaged, unsellable, short-life, awaiting inspection etc. The reason you type when placing an item on quarantine doesn't show up on any report for the client to see so they don't know why is there weeks later. This can only be shown from the SKU history, this is not what I want and not what the client wants.

Sales or short life stock.

If you have stock that is normal stock and is available it will be ordered in the normal way allocating as required. When you have stock that is below spec or minimum life and it's on quarantine but this CAN still be sold (at a cheaper price), but in MS you can't order it unless you make the stock available first and create and manual order. Not only is this very time consuming but this is VERY dangerous because as soon as you make that older stock available to pick it could potentially be allocated to ANY other order hitting the system for that SKU, so you could send out below life stock to the wrong customer. If a client order wants a specific batch or stock with a specific BBD you have to create a manual order. Another status to order stock from would resolve this.

Idea to resolve Problem Other status codes like Short date / HOLD / Inspection / Damaged / Unlabeled would be need from a technical standpoint in a WMS and to be able to sell other stock that's not status type 'allocation' but short date would allow stock to be ordered by this status not needing it to be taken off quarantine first
