[FR] Stock locations optionally not counted in the available stock

Problem statement

I have some parts that are allocated to RnD team in my company and that I cannot use them for production. It would be nice to have a way to not count them in the current available stock. Thus I can create PO for production according to the correct quantity.

Suggested solution

Stock location object should have a boolean field to discard them from the stock count. Then all RnD parts can be placed in this specific stock locaiton.

Describe alternatives you've considered

The current alternative consiste of putting our RnD parts with the status "Quarantined". An alternative way could come from https://github.com/inventree/InvenTree/issues/4289 by creating a custom "RnD" status.

@nuffer that's a pretty reasonable suggestion and should not be too difficult to implement really. Would you be willing to implement this, or perhaps fund the development if you are not able?

As on my reply in #4289 - I also discovered the need for "special" locations that would not count towards the overall store . Now we solve this by marking the item as "LOST" but this means 2 steps when moving between locations : 1st step move, 2nd step mark as LOST ....:-) I'll try to "throw" funds into polar.sh ( unfortunately it's not only up to me:-) )
