Kanban Reorder point does not create transport task line to move a part/lot batch no from a location with different or no availability controls id to the destination location. 

Not all the stock is to be available for MRP or automatic reservation; this is achieved by the application of availability controls ids. It is then sometimes necessary to replenish either the maintenance or research location (Kanban or manually) and it not possible to move if only one lot/batch is in stock.

With the new tick box in the Site > Extended Site info > Inventory > Transport task tab

A new tick was introduced, Allow Deviating Part Availability Control] it enables the transport task to be executed irrespective of what availability control ID in source and destination location.

This was only valid for manually created transport tasks.

A customer is looking for this same control for a transport task created via Kanban replenishment. (auto). Would like your feedback in handling this scenario?

Please consider going through the following solution provided by RND Solution ID 258649.

This needs to be additionally considered.


Test Plan:

1. Create a Purchase part in 2 sites. (SITE A, B)
2. Receive parts to a site. (to Site A)
3. In other site (Site 😎, create a kanban circuit for purchase part like follow.
a. Replenish type = External Site
b. Replenish source = Other Site (Site B)
c. Replenish Order = Transport Task
d. Signal Type = Electronic
4. Now create a Kanban card and set to circulate.(card id = XX)
5. Now create a Kanban replenishment request for bar code id created above (XX) (a transport task should create for the part)
6. Goto Kanban Report Supplier Report window and enter bar code id and execute transport task. Transport task should set to executed.
7. Now repeat the step 5 and 6 again. When execute step 6, you will received an error
"No active Transport Task created from Kanban Replenishment Request for this Kanban card could be found". But this is wrong since there is a transport task to be execute created on step 6.

Transport_Task view have a column part_no which is a function call. This method returns a value if transport task is connect only to a single part. If multiple parts connected, then method will returns NULL. so comparing NULL values gives an incorrect error message.
