We have Work flow activated. Created a Production order and Estimated it. PO was created. Tried to Start but got an error - Changes to the document are only allowed in state Draft, because change management is activated.
I followed the following steps from an earlier post.
All subcontract services need to have a default vendor, a dummy vendor just for the purpose of creating an auto PO.
Exclude that vendor from change management.
When the production order is estimated, it fires up a PO for that vendor with status approved. Delete that PO.
Raise another PO for the subcontract service item, with the correct vendor and prices etc. and go through the normal approval process.
When the PO is approved, you can now go and mark that PO line against the production line.
(the key for having the production order visible in the marking is to have it estimated).
Start the production order, receive the PO, it posts to WIP, report it as finished, then end it.
Picks up the correct costs.
The only challenge now is to automate deleting the first PO
My issue is I still get the error when I 'Start' the production order. Looking for suggestions on how to get around this.
Thanks.
