Changing production order from Released to Finished

Posted on 12 Feb 2024 20:20:01 by Community member 2
When I go to change the status of my production order from released to finished I get this error message:
 
Gen. Prod. Posting group must have a value in Item Journal Line:
Journal Template Name=, Journal Batch Name=, Line No. = 0.  It cannot be zero or empty.
 
What does this mean and how do I change the status to finished?

    have you experiences any issue previously? 
     
    as suggested, normally this means certain items including components or finished product or certain work center/machine center hasn't been set up fully. You need to check those to ensure the gen. prod posting group has been filled out.
    since your error message is not a screenshot, I'm not sure if it is 100% what the message says. If the message refers to a certain line no. you could check that line. 
     
    hope it helps

    Check all the involved Work Centers and Items used/produced and Resources involved.
    Seems that somewhere the Gen. Prod. Posting group value is missing.
