A Planning Area is used as a source of supply in Stock Transfer Order proposal even though the Site is blocked for planning in Material Master Data.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign

Cause
Blocking a site from planning prevents creating purchase and production proposals for that site but does not prevent using this site as a source for stock transfer proposals if a valid transport lane exists.
Resolution
This is the standard system behavior
