Project category is mandatory if your Production order has a Project Id.
Hello Simon Turner,
What transactions are posted when you start a work order?
Is the work order related to a project?
If this is the case, have all elements an association to a project category especially your items?
Best regards,
Ludwig
The item as a project category set up in the inventory set up, yes.
Not sure where this is set in the actual project related to this work order though?
Nothing matters.. You have to specify this in the Production order (ProdTable.ProjCategoryId)
Sorry but I cannot see where to set this up?
In the Production order >> Project tab >> you will find the field Project Activity. Can you check if this field is filled?
If yes, can you check if this Activity has a Project category?
That should resolve your case..
Thanks for reply
This is what I have-
So, clearly that's it. You have to specify an Activity number. That's the cause of the error.
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
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.
