can inventory status be enabled and disabled anytime?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that the inventory status in NetSuite can be managed and changed as needed. The inventory status feature allows you to mark an inventory as available or unavailable. However, it's important to note that once the inventory status is set, it may impact other processes such as assembly items availability if the 'Make Inventory Available' is disabled on a location record. Also, it seems that there might be some limitations or performance issues when using this feature, as mentioned in the conversation about the increased item lookup time from the RF-scanners. As for restricting users from selecting a particular custom Inventory Status, it seems there isn't a straightforward way to do this. However, some potential solutions were suggested, such as replicating the custom status behavior with a hidden checkbox, using a client script to display a message and change the status back, or hiding the actual status field and creating a custom status field in the UI that only displays the statuses you want the user to be able to select. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
