2615012 - Sequence of Source Does Not Work When Confirming a Pick Task

The system is ignoring the sequence of source defined in the Material Flow Rules for Logistics Area XXX. When trying to confirm the Pick Task ABC, the Target Logistics Area is XXX and the system is proposing Source Logistics Area ZZZ. However, there is another possible Source Logistics Area YYY which comes first in the sequence of source for Logistics Area XXX. Both Logistics Areas YYY and ZZZ have enough stock to fulfill the task and belong to two different Sites.

ABC = Task ID

XXX = Logistics Area ID

YYY = Logistics Area ID

ZZZ = Logistics Area ID

Here you can check that Logistics Area YYY comes before ZZZ to be chosen as source.

You have defined Material Flow Rules for Logistics Area XXX at Logistics Area level. Since Logistics Areas YYY and ZZZ belong to two different Sites and there is no Material Flow Rules defined at Site level, the proposed Logistics Area ZZZ is valid.

You need to define Material Flow Rules for the Site where XXX is in, by selecting as Source the Sites of YYY and ZZZ. Since Logistics Areas YYY and ZZZ belong to two different Site, you need to define all at Site level.
