How to Block a Location in Microsoft Dynamics NAV

I have seen some questions on the various Dynamics NAV Forums about how to ‘Block’ a location in Dynamics NAV. Unfortunately there isn’t a current method to do so, so I offer this work-around. It is not the perfect solution, but it works. NOTE: This work-around is to not create (or remove) the Inventory Posting Setup for this location.

I created a location called ‘TEST.’

I created a Purchase Order and then tried to receive it into the TEST Location and got the following error:

Figure 2 – Error displayed when trying to receive a Purchase Order into the new Location

Make sure to run Adjust Cost/Post Cost before you delete the posting setup.
