Symptoms

On : 12.1.1 version, Batches

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
After doing picking, and executing the task for the move order, transferring material to the supply
subinventory and locator, you can do picking a second time, and a new move order is created, even
though the reservation after moving the material is now for the supply subinventory and locator and so
there is no need to pick anything more. Executing the second move order / task creates a second
reservation, so that twice the required qty has now been moved and reserved.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
-----------------------
If the reservation is for the same subinventory and locator as the supply subinventory and locator
specified on the material detail line of the batch, and for the full planned qty, the line should not be passed
to picking and no new move order line should be created.

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1) Reserve material of qty 100 to an ingredient line on the work order. Let’s say SubA/Loc01.
2) Pick release the material
3) A move order is generated from SubA/Loc01 to SubA/LocSTAGE
4) Transact the move order (in Inventory, or paper based picking or task picking in WMS)
5) The material is moved
6) The reservation line changes the location of the material to SubA/LocSTAGE
7) Pick release the material again
8) A move order is generated again from SubA/Loc01 to SubA/LocSTAGE for a second quantity of 100
9) Transact move order
10) The material is moved
11) The new reservation line is created in SubA/LocSTAGE for qty of 100
12) Repeat steps 7 through 11 to move material and generate more reservation lines
BUSINESS IMPACT
-----------------------
The issue has the following business impact:
Due to this issue, unnecessary move orders are created and too much quantity gets reserved.

Cause

The locator was not being fetched correctly to be passed in to the code added in the previous fix.

This is explained in the following bug:
