3045432 - The role restriction of location is not working when confirming pick tasks

Symptom

The role restriction of location is not working when confirming pick tasks

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Supply Chain Design Master Data work center.
  2. Go to Locations view.
  3. Edit location ABC (ABC represents the name of the location).
  4. Define this location as only ship-to and storage location, de-select role of ship-from.
  5. However when confirming pick tasks, system is still proposing logistic areas under location ABC, and you are able to confirm the task with this logistic area, no error will be raised by the system.

Cause

The selection or de-selection of the ship-from will not have an impact while selecting the logistics area during the confirmation of the task, as this check is not being considered.

As the ATP check takes place at the site level with the quantities being considered at the site level and not at the level below where these indicators are maintained. And the checks need to be consistent in ATP as well as planning.

Resolution

System is working as expected.
