Master Plan - confirmation version

Hello dear comminity!

Can anyone help me with the following "issue" im facing in Microsoft Dynamics 365?

I noticed that whenever I confirm a purchase order that was created from the planned orders, the confirmation version is 2 instead of 1. Why is that? This only happens with orders created with the master plan. My theory is that the first confirmation version is the one made when the purchase order is approved and firmed but I am not sure.

Thanks so much in advance! Looking forward to your theories

Hello ME,

Are you looking at the Purchase Order Confirmation Journal and seeing a "-2" where you expect to see a "-1" at the end of PO number?

Or are you looking at the Manage ribbon at the top of Purchase Order and clicking on Compare Versions or View Purchase Order Versions?

If so, ,can you see the difference between version 1 and 2?

Hello Danny and thank you for you answer,

I am looking at the PO confirmation itself, where there should be a -1 there is a -2 and this only happens with orders created from master plan.

I am 100% sure no previous version was deleted since I created the order myself.

Hello,

I have not see this before. I would check this form to see if there are two versions of the confirmed PO just to make sure:

Hello again,

Just to highlight that your screen shot is for a different screen. Just confirm using the screen shots from my last.

The Confirmation journal should not skip. Other areas of investigation:

- Is it possible that a Batch Job runs to clean-up old records (or someone else from your team ran the clean-up)?

- If it occurs every time but only for firmed planned purchase orders: are you aware of any development around Purchase Order creation or Planned Purchase Orders?

- Test the process:

Firm a Planned PO -> check PO; is there any confirmation journal?

Generate confirmation (using the Generate confirmation button) for that PO-> is confirmation journal number skipping a version?

If so, suggest you create a task recording or raise a ticket internally

Repeat firming and confirmation using the <Confirm> button only (the one that does not have a dialog popping-up) -> is confirmation journal number behaving the same?

Do you generate PO confirmation any other way? If so: test these as well to confirm that the behavior is consistent and isolate the process that causes this "mis-fire".

All I can advise for now.

Hello Danny,

You're right, wrong option! Got the right one and it seems like it thinks the approval of the order is the first version and the confirmation of the order itself the second one, which is odd, I had never seen that before.... We do have a workflow, an approval workflow, though its for the PO confirmation, not the approval of the MP order, could that have been the issue?
