Symptoms

When running the Process Pick Requests (R46171) for a License Plate enabled item and the quantity on the pick request equals the quantity on one of the LPNs, the suggestion is being created for a negative amount. The suggestion is taking the quantity available on the LPN not being used and subtracting the quantity on the pick request to come up with the suggested quantity. This happens when the picking instructions are setup for random requirements and the one item is on two different LPNs.

STEPS

1. Setup a new item in a LP enabled branch.
2. Setup two new locations with a characteristic group that is associated with a location characteristic (P46021)
3. Setup random picking instructions (P46095).
4. Run the Build Random Locations (R46821) and Tiebreaker Information (R46027).
5. Add inventory to the two lots and locations using the P4114 for a quantity of 3 EA in one location and 28 EA in the other location.
6. Add the inventory to two different LPNs using the P46L30 (if the LP did not build during the adjustment).
7. Create a Sales Order for a quantity of 3 EA using the P4210 and generate a pick request.
8. Run the R46171 to generate the suggestion.
9. Review the output of the report and the F4611 data. The suggestion was created for a quantity of -25 for the location that contained a quantity of 3. The pdf also shows the R46171 attempted to suggest a quantity of 28, but receives the error 3448 (Quantity Remains).
