IJ49767: Unwanted Location created by Apply Item Assembly Structure

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem:
  While using the Apply Item Assembly Structure functionality on
  locations, if I exclude some row in the section Location
  Hierarchy pressing Mark row for delete (bin icon) and then
  press the Autonumber All button, for the excluded rows the
  "Current position" field will also be filled in. Pressing the
  OK button than leads to the creation of an unwanted location.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Open the Item Master application
  2. Create 3 rotating items (Item1, Item2, Item3)
  3. Select Item1 and move to the Item Assembly Structure tab
  4. In the Children section select New Row and both Item2 and
  Item3 in the section
  5. Move to the Location application
  6. Create a new Location
  7. Add Item1 to the Rotating Item field for the location
  8. Under More Actions select 'Apply Item Assembly Structure'
  9. Select the Trash icon for one of the Items under the Location
  Hierarchy section
  10. Select the button 'Autonumber all'
  11. Select Ok to close the window
  
  Results:
  Both Items will be added to the Children section of the Location
  
  
  Expected Results:
  Only one Item should have been added as one as deleted.
