IJ49029: ORGANIZATION SETTING FOR "IGNORE STOREROOM AVAILABILITY FOR WORK ORDER STATUS" IS NOT APPLIED IF WORK ORDER HAS MATERIAL LINES F

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• ABSTRACT:
  Organization Setting For "Ignore storeroom availability for work
  order Status" Is Not Applied If Work Order Has Material Lines
  For Both Direct Issue and Storeroom Items
  
  DESCRIPTION:
  If the Organizational/Site setting for "Ignore storeroom
  availability for work order Status" is selected, but NOT
  selected for "Ignore direct issue availability for work order
  status?", and the Work Order has both Storeroom and Direct Issue
  planned material lines, then the "Ignore direct issue
  availability for work order status?" setting is not applied to
  the Work Order.
  
  
  The example scenario is that a Work Order has 2 material lines
  and one of them is Direct Issue. Both items have no available
  quantity in the Storeroom, so the Work Order status updates to
  WMATL upon approval. This is correct because the Direct Issue
  item is not available. However, when the Direct Issue item is
  received and issued to the Work Order, the Work Order status
  remains WMATL.
