    Hi All

    I have sorted this problem.

    In one of the operations on the works order route

    Under the TAB Project Setup, the field setup category was blank

    Once I completed this field as well as set up category and run time category under TAB setup

    All worked

    Thank you

    Looks like you miss something here.

    f (ret &&

           ((routeGroup.CalcSetUp && !this.SetUpCategoryId) ||

            (routeGroup.CalcProc  && !this.ProcessCategoryId) ||

            (routeGroup.CalcQty   && !this.QtyCategoryId)))

    Can you look into any missing update?

    Do you even have the fields CalcSetUp, CalcProc, CalcQty in your System?

    Hi,

    A production order can always set back by using the reset status button.

    Doing this basically allows you cancelling all transactions that have been made for this production order.

    Once you have done that you can create a new one and select a different posting method - either directly on the production order or automatically

    if you set this up in the project parameters.

    Please test this carefully in a demo environment before doing that in live.

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Hi All

    I think the problem is this order has already been started but with no quantity

    How can I change the quantity to 1?

    Hello Simon Turner,

    Can you change the posting method. Consumed will in general not work e.g. if you have a costing sheet setup. Can you try changing this to finished product and try again?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    Well, there is something you can check.

    With a ProjectId, if the Posting method is "Finished item", and the Checkbox "Linked to order" is unchecked, the Project category is considered mandatory. Your data means, this check should fail (meaning Project category should not be mandatory)

    So you have to specifically look at the Code if this Validation is changed.

    None of our projects have an activity number and we have not had this problem previously.

    I look at ProdTable and ActivityNumber and all are set to blank.

    Thanks
