After posting picking list from Production order (where status was ‘Started’ and Remaining status was ‘Material consumption’), User update production order status to ‘Created’ from started (since order was cancelled by customer and no more Production order to run). Since no more this production order needed, user delete the production order manually. 


Issue - After deleting the Production order when user generate MIP on past date (when Production order was not deleted), system shows no data.


Expectation -

System should show data since MIP generated on past date when production order was not deleted

Thank you for the detailed scenario.

When a production order is manually deleted, the system intentionally removes it from operational and analytical data sets. As a result, downstream calculations such as MIP (Material in Process) are recalculated based on the current system state, not reconstructed from historical snapshots.

Even if the MIP is generated for a past date, the calculation relies on the existence of the production order record. Once the order is deleted, the system no longer has a reliable source to include it in MIP, as this would require reconstructing deleted transactional data, which is not supported.

This behavior is by design to ensure:

  • Data consistency across planning, costing, and inventory
  • Clear separation between reversals/cancellations and hard deletions
  • Avoiding misleading historical results based on records that no longer exist

If historical visibility is required, the recommended approach is to cancel or close the production order rather than deleting it, so the record remains available for historical reporting and analysis.

For these reasons, the request cannot be supported.

Sincerely,
