I was wondering if someone is able to offer an insight into the expected behaviour regarding ‘Reserving’ Items on a Work Order.

Scenario:

Prepare Work Order - Create Requisition - Convert to a Purchase Order - Receipt Item into Remote Warehouse

At that point I would have expected the Receipted Item to show as reserved against the Work Order it was ordered against.

However, it appears that in some instances this is not the case and the item appears in the Remote Location with no reservation.

Issue: 

This then results in items showing as available in the a location incorrectly, and increases our ‘stock’ value. This value should show against ‘Reserved Inventory Stock’.

Is there an issue in our process preventing the reservation OR is this expected behaviour?

Thanks in advance to any one who takes the time to respond.
