Reversing a production order

Hi All,

I get asked this alot. Is there any way that a production order can be reversed. Like the undo assembly option. I know customers can do a negative production journal to remove consumption and output, but this then still leaves the production order open and cannot be closed. Do people generally just leave it there?

Or when a production order is moved to finished, is the only way really to do negative and positive item journals to undo?

Reversing a production order

Agree with Ben, you could refer to below for more info. This is for the latest BC version I believe. I don't have the latest version and not able to provide detailed info.

If you have the older version, you need to manually reverse the entries and adjust the finished item out of your inventory.

Reversing a production order

Microsoft released the ability to Undo Consumption and Reopen Finished Production Orders in one of the most recent releases. You need to watch your entries when there are backflushed components, as it was re-consuming the components when the Production Order was being Finished for the second time. Hopefully this has been resolved at this point. Side note, you can only reopen a Finished Production Order once. If you finish it a second time, that is the final time.

Best Regards,

✅ 2. Reverse Output or Consumption Entries
Go to the Released Production Order page.
Open the Item Ledger Entries or Capacity Ledger Entries.
Use the Reverse Production Order Transaction action:
