Walkthrough: How to avoid pickings on multiple quarantine and shipping bins

When using multiple docks and shipping bins, or quarantine bins, we want those bins to be protected against picks.

This means the Business Central Function Create Pick, should not consider any inventory on those bins and we should not be able to pick any inventory from those bins.

In this walkthrough we are creating a Quarantine Protected Status, link this status to a new bin and try to register a pick from this bin.
