I have a production order at the release stage. Im trying to change the status to finish and i get this error when doing this

"Production Order xxx has not been finished. Some output is still missing". I will appreciate some help with this.

    It sounds like you need to add a Quantity to the Output Quantity field.

    If this Production Order was a mistake, as suggest previously, if nothing has been posted to the Production Order and it was a mistake, simply delete the Production Order.  If postings have already happened, and it was a mistake, you generally want to back out the entries (same posting but with a negative quantity), then post an Output Quantity of 1 and Finish the Production Order.  Don't forget to do a negative adjustment to inventory to clear out the 1 you output (again, assuming it was a mistake).

    If this Production Order was not a mistake, you would want to post whatever quantity was actually output from the Production Order.  Once the Output Quantity > 1 the system will allow you to Finish the Production Order.

    The Finish process if final!  I cannot stress this enough.  Be 100% sure all consumption and output have been posted against the Production Order before you change status to Finished.  You cannot undo the process.

    Thanks for the response. Im using Production Journal to post the output but im getting an error message "There is nothing to Post".

    To give more information, Im using Variant and Lot nos. in my Production BOM.

    Thanks

    I'm not sure I fully understand the question. There are a few ways for Posting output and consumption; 1. production journal or 2. Output journal and Consumption journal. Do you want to correct (reverse) output and consumption? To do either, follow the same process as you did when posting but use a negative value for the quantity.

    If your output is less than the quantity specified on the production order then it will warn you but still let you change status to finished. However if you have not output any quantity at all i.e. finished qty = 0 then it will not let you finish. If you have not posted any consumption, output or runtime then you can simply delete the production order (you do not change status to finished).
