I am not sure if you can "hide" a location in the way you are specifying,
with vanilla MAPICS. The only thing that is conceptually "similar" to
what you are stating is the "non-netting locations".
At least in Release 6, MAPICS provides a non-netting feature that allows
one to mark stocking locations that MRP will ignore during planning -
essentially it hides inventory from MRP. The flag is maintained on the
location detail record at IM, 7, 9, 3 Location Detail (see Screen 1). Set
Location Type to 1 to exclude from MRP.
From within MRP's Item Requirements Inquiry, one can see the total, and
non-Netting, on hand by pressing F21=Item Detail (see Screen 2), and roll
to page 3 (see Screen 3). In the example below, there are 76 total on
hand, 32 non-netting, so MRP will only see 44 available.
(Note: you cannot do this to "QC" locations.)
My $0.02 cents...
