There is still a potential issue with not getting all replenishments generated, and that can be due
to data mismatch between rough bin and material warehouse master. Those will be identified
when you are simulating the ODO task creation, or when you release the wave.

be resolved, remove the delivery from the wave. The ENTIRE delivery must be removed.
