Standard movement to transfer blocked batches to a different plant/center

Question

I am trying to transfer blocked batches to a different plant/center where it is (from 2000 to 3000). Is there any standard movement which allows to move blocked batches to another plant/center without unblocking them?
Thank you in advance.

Prerequisites
For materials handled in batches, you can carry out stock transfers from plant to plant and from storage location to storage location as well as transfer postings from material to material.
An issuing batch and a receiving batch are always involved in a stock transfer or transfer posting of a batch material. The issuing batch number is copied as the receiving batch number (except in the case of a plant-to-plant stock transfer in two steps). The batch number can, however, still be changed.
Stock Transfers in Two Steps
In a stock transfer from plant to plant using the two-step procedure, you enter only the receiving plant for the removal from storage. The stock in transfer is managed only at plant level in the receiving plant, independent of storage location and batches. You must enter the receiving storage location and the receiving batch when you post the placement into storage.
In a stock transfer from storage location to storage location using the two-step procedure, the receiving storage location and the receiving batch are already determined during the removal from storage.
After posting the removal from storage, the quantity is in stock in transfer. Stock in transfer is managed at plant level, as well as at storage-location level and batch level. As a consequence, you must enter the same receiving batch for the placement into storage. If you do not know the batch, enter * in the Batch field. The batch selection list is displayed. This list displays the stock in transfer for the batches in the Stock column.
Procedure
You can post a transfer from batch to batch by entering a different batch for a stock transfer using the one-step procedure. To do this, proceed as follows:
From the Inventory Management menu, select Goods movement ® Transfer posting.
Maintain the data on the initial screen. Choose one of the following movement types:
u2013 Movement type ® Transfer posting ® Plant to plant ® Remove from storage/place in storage
u2013 Movement type ® Transfer posting ® Stor. loc. to stor. loc. ® Unrestr. to unrestr.
u2013 Movement type ® Transfer posting ® Material to material
To maintain the items directly on the item detail screen instead of on the collective entry screen, select Edit ® New item.
On the detail screen, you can enter an issuing and a receiving batch.
Post the document.
In a transfer posting to a new batch, batch data (such as shelf life expiration date or vendor) is copied to the new batch. Classification data is copied as well.
In a transfer posting to an already existing batch, the data of the existing batch is retained.
Transfer Postings From Batch to Batch, With Status Management
In a transfer posting to a new batch, the new batch is given the status unrestricted use (even if the issuing batch has the status restricted use), unless the restricted-use status has been predefined by Quality Management.
