Need to know the solution available in AX2012 R3 for Soft and Hard reservations

I have an item with Site, Warehouse & Location storage dimension enabled. It also have batch tracking dimension enabled.

I have created a sales Order for this item and did a reservation. As it is location enabled, system will reserve stock to available locations based on the stock availability.

This process is done by Sales Team. What really happens in Warehouse is, for space management, the Warehouse person does lot of transfer stock between the locations (Within the same warehouse). Since the stock is reserved against Site, Warehouse and Location, it doesn't allow to do a stock transfer between these Locations. WH person has to send a request to Sales to unreserve the stock. Based on this the stock transfer will happen and after this, it will be re-reserved again. This is a long and time consuming process.

Do we have any option in the system for doing reservation only at Warehouse level for Location enabled items? If this is done during SO booking, the Warehouse person can do all the location transfers within the warehouse without contacting sales team and this will avoid lot of hassles. I tried enabling "Reservation Hierarchy" available in R3, but it didn't really help.. I was able to do the reservation above location and consequently when I look at the On Hand, it was correctly showing that, the reservation is done at Warehouse level (Leaving the location field blank). But, when tried doing a transfer journal, it says "stock is 0". This means, although the stock is reserved at Warehouse level, the stock doesn't really making it available at location level.

Appreciate your suggestion to this please....
