Cause

Since in the relevant logistics model ID, Activity Type is maintained Move Per Destination due to which system is creating multiple tasks against an order.

In the used Logistics Model, the Activity Type is Move Per Destination for both operations: Pick and Load operations.

Activity Type determines the number of Tasks to be created for a given Warehouse Request. In this case, the Target Logistics Area is fetching different for each item, hence as the "Move Per Destination" Activity, two or more tasks are created based on the Target Logistics Area.
