Inventory Status Validations
Compliance automation, productized.
Overview
Blocks quarantined inventory from production and shipping. Built for compliance; sold by RSM as IP.
Problem
Using restricted stock in manufacturing or shipping can create quality risks and compliance concerns. Standard system controls often did not extend to automated processes.
Constraints
Had to enforce rules across work orders, assemblies, and fulfillment without disrupting production velocity. Needed configurable logic per inventory status (Quarantine, Hold, Damaged).
Approach
- Built custom validation logic using SuiteScript that fires before inventory transactions are committed
- Created a configurable rules engine allowing definition of which statuses block specific transaction types
- Enforced controls across UI, CSV imports, API calls, and scheduled scripts
- Implemented audit logging for transactions and blocks to support root cause analysis
Result
Enforced inventory status restrictions across the system to help maintain compliance. Deployed as a scalable solution for regulated manufacturing clients.
