Unallocating Components

Hi: 
 
I just found out that reopening a closed production order doesn't unallocate its components.
 
How do you get the components unallocated, then?
 
Thanks!

    Hi John,
     
    I hope your doing well.
     
    You're correct—reopening a closed production order in Dynamics 365 Business Central doesn't automatically unallocate its components.
     

    Reopen the Production Order:

    • Navigate to the Finished Production Orders page.
    • Select the order you wish to edit.
    • Choose the Reopen action.
    • Confirm the action when prompted.
    Review Component Allocations:
    • Open the Prod. Order Components page for the reopened order.
    • Check the Qty. Picked, Qty. to Consume, and Remaining Qty. fields for each component.
    Unallocate Components:
    • If components have been picked but not consumed, you can cancel the pick to unallocate them.
    • If components have been consumed, you'll need to reverse the consumption using a negative item journal or the Undo Consumption function.
    • Adjust the Qty. to Consume field as necessary to reflect the correct quantities.
    Update Reservations:
    • If any components are still reserved, remove or adjust these reservations to free up the inventory.
     
    Thanks
    Ramesh
