Symptom

Product 999 is blocked in Transport Lane for Ship From 111 and  Transport Zone 222(999 is the Product ID, 111 Ship From Site  and 222 is   the  Transport Zone ID).

 However in the the Sales Order 123 it is possible to ship the Product 999 to Location that belongs to Transport Zone 222.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

1. Go to Supply Chain Design Master Data workcenter and Transport Lanes view
2. Find Transport Lane 222
3. In the Allowed Products, Product 999 is blocked where Ship From is 111 and Transport Zone 222.
4. Go to Sales Order workcenter and Sales Order View
5. Find Sales Order 123
6. We can see that the product has ship from 111 and Ship to location belongs to Transport Zone 222.
It is still possible to Release the Sales Order and Ship the product

Cause

As per the system design active status precedes all other status.

For example if you select All Products as active, the system by default considers All Products as active status.
Despite this if one of the product is blocked it acts as a contradiction hence it system considers the product as active.

Resolution

Explicitly mention the products which have to be Active and Blocked( for the transport lane to stop it from being proposed in the source of supply list in Sales Order).

Also you can make use of product category option in transport lane.
