How to block inventory during product receipt for Basic Warehouses ?

In some circumstances, even if you aren’t using a D365 FO quality management feature for a particular vendor or item. Also the business might not use the quality management function to initiate a quality order during the product receipt process.

In this scenario, if there is a problem with the product while receiving the product, you may wish to talk to the vendor until you find a suitable solution, such as replacing the product, lowering the price, selling it, or taking other action. The company must take care of avoiding these products from being sold to a customer until these discussions are ongoing and until the vendor and business have agreed on the next step of action to address the problematic products.

Make sure below setups are done. Item has enabled the use warehouse management parameters for storage dimension. Select a warehouse which is not enabled for the advanced warehouse processes. Also Inventory statuses are created.
