Resolving the 'Due Date Missing' Error in Business Central's Requisition Worksheet
Are you facing challenges with the Order Promising functionality in Dynamics 365 Business Central, especially when utilizing the Capable-to-Promise feature? Users have reported an error: "Due Date must be filled in when a quantity is reserved in the Requisition Line Worksheet. Template Name = 'PLANNING', Journal Batch Name = 'DEFAULT', Line No. = '3000'." This issue surfaces when the system indicates a need to purchase items that are already covered by existing purchase orders. Notably, this problem started on March 7th, with no apparent pattern in the affected items' planning setups, varying from 'Order' to 'Fixed Re-Order Quantity' policies. The error has persisted despite unchanged ordering processes, leading to operational delays as users can proceed with Capable-to-Promise only after removing the conflicting items from the worksheet.
It's important to distinguish between the Requisition Worksheet and the Planning Worksheet, as they are not the same and are used differently depending on your license and operational needs. Here's how you can address this issue:
1. Worksheet Line Verification: Examine line no. 3000 on the worksheet to identify the item causing the error. The system needs a due date to plan effectively, especially for reserved items linked to a demand like a sales or production order.
2. Item Card and Reservation Review: Check the item's card for reservation entries. If due dates are missing, complete them. Order tracking might offer additional insights by showing the reservation's origin.
3. Reservation Settings Adjustment: Review and adjust the item's reservation settings on its card to ensure they're correctly configured for your inventory management practices.
These strategies aim to mitigate the error and streamline your order processing. The steps provide a guide to troubleshoot and potentially rectify the underlying issue causing the "Due Date must be filled in" error.
