Hi Community,
Our client requires that all newly created Inventory Items are reviewed for quality control and approved prior to activation.
My initial thought was to simply change the default status of new stock items to “Inactive” so that the item can be placed in a review queue GI/Dashboard. As I was thinking about this, I realized the client may have a legitimate reason for marking an Inventory Item as “Inactive” for reasons other than the item having been newly created. I thought that I could couple this with a “reviewed” attribute, but we don’t have a viable to lock down a single attribute prompt without locking them all down for a group of users.
This led me to add a new drop down value to the Item Status field called “RE - Needs Review” which we would use to drive the review. The problem with this is that there are no business rules to prevent the newly created from being used with this status.
My question is, is it possible through no code/low code customization to allow a newly created Item Status code to inherit the business rules of an out-of-the-box status code; specifically, I want the “Needs Review” status to behave just like the “Inactive” status to prevent users from selecting the item for any transaction until activated.
