Create High Level Reservation Although We Use WMS Rules Engine (Doc ID 1381774.1)

When you perform auto detail for an OPM batch, the system creates detailed (lot allocation) reservation for the concerned item/quantity, but it also creates High level reservations for any remaining un-detailed quantity. It should not create high level reservations.

Create a batch.
Batch qty = 100
Auto-detail the line using WMS rules engine to reserve the right and only the right stock, BUT system ends with high level reservation, instead of stopping reservation process...
Eg: Batch line qty = 100
By WMS rules engine, reservation = 80
and unfortunately, system creates a complementary high level (organization level reservation) of 20 without any relation with WMS setup rules.
If we setup WMS rules engine to reserve properly the ingredients, it is not to get a dummy organization level reservation.

Background information:
When you create an OPM batch, the system creates a special move order, move_order_type = 8, which we usually refer to as a "hidden" or "invisible" move order, as it is not visible on the normal move order screens.

This move order is used by the system to call the Picking Engine when running Autodetail to create the ingredient reservations.  WMS is running its pick rules engine to determine precisely the reservation for the ingredients of the OPM batch.
So, the function "Auto-detail" is submitting the WMS pick rule engine to determine the reservation for the ingredients, based on the special move order (move order type = 8).
And it works well, the ingredients are reserved against the specific WMS rules EXCEPT that if the rules are not completely successful and that there is available stock WITHOUT CHECKING the WMS rules, then the system creates a org level reservation, and that' s wrong.

the functionality of ingredient reservation can be mandatory in OPM because in process, (like in food industry) the pick rules are very precise (the selection of lot must match precise rules and so on).
