Joe,
we are having the same issue , but during the packout level.Ive heard that the material issue is also giving them that issue but havent gone into detail on that one. If you havent completed the job probably the allocations arent deleted. So probably it will show you that you have On hand more than what you really have in some bins. It is being a big problem for us since we have to transfer and adjust the qties manually to make sure we have sufficient qty to release. ( this in our packout process , i assume it might be similar in the material release process)
If you have a chance we could discuss this..
