Cause
The system searches for Material Flow Rules in the Parent Logistics Area (LOA) only, just after the Location.
Resolution
Maintain Material Flow Rules (Advanced) for the Parent LOA in the DESTINATION, include all child LOAs within the Material Flow Rules in the DESTINATION, ensure the product is available in the child LOA only. Then accordingly it will search and propose LOA's
This is the standard behavior. The searching only happens in the Parent LOA. It searches for any LOA's inside the Material flow rules in the DESTINATION.
