Occasionally, a user will post consumption on a production order and then realize they made a mistake. They can post negative consumption to undo the erroneous consumption, but NAV/BC does not allow them to finish or delete the production order because there is no output. The work around is to post output for a quantity of 1 and then do a negative adjustment on the item journal. We would like an option to close a production order if the net consumption is zero, or to "undo" the entire production order (similar undo shipments on sales shipments).

Thank you for your feedback. We are considering adding it to our (longer term) roadmap.

The consumption and/or labor associated with a cancelled production order are still critical to keep track of. Instead of deleting the production order or faking output and reversing it in the Item Journal, I would love to see a Change Status to Cancelled. That way the material and capacity transactions are still valid in the system (because it really happened), and we don't lose visibility to the order. It would be great to also have a cancellation reason that is required.

Yes, undo consumption would be great. We have everything set to Forward Flushing, and 99% of the time it works great. However, there are those occasional mistakes that are a PITA to fix. Please add an "Undo" button to put the inventory back in stock, then allow deletion of the RPO.

Great requeriment!! It is really necessary.

if we cannot process a closure / Deletion then, whatever workarounds have been discussed, can we automate them by MS so it will be used as common practise of doing the things?

Any action on this idea? I like both the Undo Consumption/Undo Output idea and the Change Status ideas. Any unapplied dollars can go to a COGS account or Inventory Adjustment Account.We would rather not modify this. We have Undo for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders and Assembly Orders.

Cancelling prod.orders is REALLY challenge. Not to mention if subcontracting is involved :)

Suggestion: on Prod.order journal (Consumption, Output journal) do two or according actions for page:
1- "Undo Consumption"
2- "Undo Output"

In case 1: take minus Quantity (example -10), for key prod.order+prod.order line+prod.ord.comp.line to find posted Item ledg. entries, Entry type=Consumption, according Posting date and AUTOMATICALLY update or insert new consumption lines in item journal lines.
Field "Applies-from Entry" in Item journal line is populated automatically.
This way inventory valuation and WIP issue is solved.

In case 2: take minus Quantity (example -5), for key prod.order+prod.order line to find posted Item ledg. entries , Entry type=Output, according Posting date and AUTOMATICALLY update or insert new Output lines in item journal lines.
Field "Applies-to Entry" in Item journal line is populated automatically. You DO NOT look just for Open entries!!!
Standard Reapply function will do the magic :)
Only control is Inventory for this Item on Posting Date.

This is REALLY a booster for many issues regarding managing corrections. WIP in manufacturing posting.

Where there has been posting, I can understand the reason not to delete the Production Order. Perhaps allowing the Change Status to move the production order from Released to Finished, with no net output would resolve this.

Scrap is not enough:
"You cannot finish line 10000 on Production Order 1011003. It has consumption or capacity posted with no output."

Category: Manufacturing

Well If you can post some output as scrap, the financials part (WIP) is also covered. have implemented this several times:-)

Yes, we need the ability to cancel a production order with consumption. In some cases, the raw materials are abandoned in the discarded product. In other cases they are returned to stock. Either way we need to cancel the Production Order as there is no output to record.
