Reversing the status of a production order takes the order itself, and all operations associated with the routes, back to a previous step in the production life cycle. If you reverse the status more than two steps back, the application returns the order to the earlier stage by individually reversing each step.

For example, if a production order has the status and you change it back to , the application first changes it to the status immediately before, which is , and from there to the status you want, which is .

Note Note

If your order has reached the status and you want to reverse it back to an earlier stage, you can do so. However, you must run and or (or both) again to update the information on the order. This is because any reservations of remaining item consumption and work center consumption must also be reset

Capacity reservations made during scheduling are removed, and jobs created during job scheduling are deleted. All information about operation and job scheduling recorded in the Production orders (form)is reset.
