Fulfillment Workbench hard stop

We’re wanting to use The Fulfillment Workbench for allocating parts to production jobs, not sales order shipments. 

Question:  For a job without adequate part allocation, how and where in the production job process is the job to be stopped from being built?  Job release to production, printing, mass-issue, picking?

If there is not a hard stop now, any recommendation on where to install one.

No native hard stop--allocating prevents you from consuming the mtl for other purposes, but that's all.  Easiest way to implement a hard stop might be in Job Release--you can’t start labor or issue materials to an unreleased job, this would be the easiest place to stop.  Otherwise, you’d have to stop mtl issue and labor entry separately, as they come from different business objects.  

Thank you!

 

Great suggestion!  Will pass it on to our IT department right after our Kinetic launch Monday.  They seem to be a little preoccupied right now.
