Issues and Transfers (RBA) - Ability to create an Inventory Usage record without a reservation

The current Issues and Transfers Role Based application requires a reservation, if you manually create an Inventory Usage record you will receive an error message when the storeroom goes to issue it.

There are cases when no reservation will be created but an Inventory Usage record of type ISSUE is made. When the technician goes to perform work the work order is at INPRG status. In performing that work they see that another item is needed or the item they have been issued with is not correct and they need another. Ideally, the technician would like to use the mobile device to create a new Inventory Usage record referencing the existing work order, no reservation is made in this case. 
 

It would be expected that the technician would need to be online to perform this as they need to search for the items which is a lot of data to download if they were able to do this offline on the mobile application. Therefore, it is only needed for the role-based application. The technician would go to any convenient spot where a connection can be made, rather than returning to an office to fill out a desktop Inventory Usage record.
