Changing the item category setting from delivery to maintains item category

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We have scenarios where we are changing the item category setting from delivery to maintains item category.

Client wants to use the item category and changed configuration for item category:

-Changed incompletion procedure and removed quantity mandatory filed.

-In item category maintained item type as “A-Value Item’ and un checked “Schedule line allowed”

-We have a special condition type which we have maintained as calculation type as “Fixed Amount”

Now the scenario is working fine and we are able to save the order and bill it.

We are facing issue with old orders(which have created long back) if we are changing in the old orders (anything) where we have used same item category which was a delivery item category then  and now it is a maintains item.

After changing in old sales order while saving, system is giving message “Please enter target quantity in quantity field of the same name”.

There are some scenarios where we have not delivered or billed the old order while changing anything, system is giving the same error message even though order quantity is grayed out.

Lastly if old order is delivered and billed still system is giving the same error message.

Our requirement is, system should not update old orders which have created earlier or long back. How to restrict the system on updating  on old sales orders.

As per my understanding system only update address if changed after delivered or billed sales order.

Please advise me on this issue.

Checked all the nodes on this but could not able find any clue.

Thanks.

It is a standard functionality such that any configuration change you make, it will be applicable only to the documents which are created after that.  Documents which does not meet this requirement will have an issue which means, all old documents will have this issue.  You need to foreclose those old sale orders and create new in lieu of that.

Hi,

you can analyze in Debugger for what reason E047(V5) is raised for old sales orders.

If you are not familiar with Debugger ask a developer for support.
