At a Glance
The facts of Stock Block Quantity, version 1.0.0, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
One flag.
On the operation type
Uncheck Validate With Exceeded Quantity and this operation refuses to ship more than was asked for.
Chosen per operation
Receipts can stay permissive while deliveries are strict - which is usually the right combination.
What You Get
Validate With Exceeded Quantity, per operation type
On by default - existing behaviour is unchanged until you decide otherwise
The message names the product, the initial demand and the attempted quantity
Counts detached move lines added during the transfer, not only the planned ones
Works on deliveries, receipts, internal transfers - whichever type you flag
No new screen, no new field to fill on the transfer

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
The block happens at validation, where the movement becomes real.
The transfer is refused with a message; correcting it is a decision, not an automation.
Shipping less is Odoo's back-order flow and is left alone.
The rule belongs to the operation type; a supervisor override would be a different module.
