Resetting a Production Order Status in AX2009

Posted Monday, February 1st, 2010

Here is a little publicized fact concerning the resetting of the status of a Production Order in AX2009…..

The Production Order is released, and started as planned….but then, Production Control decide that the decision to “Start” production, was the wrong decision, so they must reset the Production Order. This is done by clicking the “Update” button and selecting “Reset Status”.

Click the “Update” button

From the options, select “Reset Status”

When the reset form is displayed, AX suggests the desired status to reset back to…..there is no indication that you have a choice, and if you accept the default, AX implies that you have to reset status, one step at a time.

This is not the case!

By clicking in the “Desired Status” field, a drop down icon becomes visible……

Simply select the desired status from the list and click”OK”.

The Production Order will be reset back to the selected status.
