We are seeing an issue where Kanban creates a Transport Task for parts when there is adequate in the work area floor location.  This is not a repeating request, it only creates one Transport Task that is not needed so the warehouse team end up essentially doubling the max quantity of floor material which in some areas is not possible.

We are using forwarding for the parts to the work floor, such that when the kanban runs it for a part needed at location X, it creates a Transport Task from the warehouse to the staging area, and then as soon as that Transport Task is executed IFS automatically creates another Transport Task to location X.  This is working fine apart from the fact that it creates this single extra TT for each part flowing through the staging area.

After stepping through the code we can see that IFS is not looking at the floor area to calculate the quantity the parts of hand, it is looking at the staging area instead.

Example:

Floor area X has physical quantity of 20 

IFS also shows qty 20 in location X.

Kanban circuit is configured with a reorder point qty of 1, and a quantity per kanban of 16.

When the kanban runs it will create a Transport Task for Qty 16 of the part because it is looking in the staging area (where there are none) and not look in location X (where there are 16).

Anyone have any guidance or thoughts as to what/where we might be misconfigured or if this might be a bug of some kind?
