Error description

• Steps to reproduce the Issue
  ============================
  1- Log in to Maximo and go to Item Master
  2- Create a new item by clicking the New Item button
  3- Name it NEWITEM and the description "New Item"
  4- Save the record
  5- Click "Select Action" and then "Add Items to Storeroom"
  6- Add the amount of 00 to the Central storeroom for example
  with Issue and Order units equal to "each" and the amount 0
  (only to be able to deactivate it with lesser steps later)
  7- Change the item status to Active and check the box to rollout
  to Inventory (now you have an active item)
  8- Now go to Work Orders > Work Order Tracking, create a new
  workorder and click the "Plans" tab; on the lower part of the
  screen, click the "Materials" tab and then click "New Row". Use
  the Item lookup on the Item field (Arrow) to "Select Value". Use
  the "Select Value" screen to locate and select your active item
  (NEWITEM).
  
  *The Item Lookup on the Workorder application allows you to
  select your active item from a list (and only if it's status is
  active)*
  
  NOW DEACTIVATE YOUR ITEM BY MAKING IT'S STATUS "OBSOLETE"
  
  9- Go to Item Master application and locate the NEWITEM record
  and change it's status to "Pending Obsolesence" and again to
  "Obsolete", rollout the status changes to Inventory by marking
  the correspondent checkbox and click ok
  10- Repete step 8 and notice the obsolete item will NOT show on
  the Item lookup "Select Value" list of the Workorder
  application.
  
  NOW CHECK THE ITEM LOOKUP OF THE DESKTOP REQUISITIONS
  APPLICATION
  
  11- Go to Self Service> Desktop Requisitions> Create
  Requisition
  12-  Click "Continue"
  13- On the "Requisition Line Items" session, click New Row
  14- Click the arrow on the Item field to access the Item lookup
  15- Click "Select Value" and filter for NEWITEM; you will find
  it though it is Obsolete (IT SHOULD NOT BE VISIBLE WITH A STATUS
  OTHER THAN ACTIVE). See the counter on top of the list, it shows
  all Item records instead of showing only the active ones.
