Blocking a document is done so that further processing of the document is not allowed.

At sale order level there can be delivery blocks and billing blocks at different level. A delivery block will not allow the delivery to be created for that sale order until the block is released by an authorized person. A billing block will not allow the billing document to be created until the block is released by an authorized person. We see this in the case of credit memo requests.

A posting block can be there in billing document to restrict the creation of accounting document as soon as the billing document is saved. An authorized person can check the billing document and then release the billing document so that accounting document is generated.

Hello,

In addition to above:

If a block is defined at the header level, it is called header level block. This is applicable to the entire Document.

If the block is in item level, which is only applicable to the particular line item.

Dear Kanna

Let us assume you have three line items in a sale order and you dont want the second line item to be delivered. So in this case, if you set the block at header level, you cannot make delivery for the other line items also and hence, you have assign a Reason for Rejection for that particular line item, so that even if stock is available, you cannot post goods issue. This is called item level block.
