Merge Purchase Order + Keep Production Order Link
PROBLEM: When merging Purchase Orders that are automatically generated from Production Orders, the Purchase Order is "de-linked" and removed from Related Orders under the Production Order. The Production Order cannot be completed.
EXAMPLE: We require Co-Manufacturers to complete 'finishing' on our products. We will send 30-50 parts at a time to get painted. A Production Order needs to be created for each part, which in turn produces an individual Purchase Order. Rather than send our Paint Service provider 30-50 Purchase Orders, we merge them into one. However, once they're merged, they lose the link to the Production Order and it cannot be completed.
The Solution would be pretty straight-forward. Retain the link to the Production Orders for all Products/Services after Purchase Orders are merged.
We're having the same problem
Up-vote!
Any update on this one DEAR?
Right now we're still performing manual stock adjustments to account for co-manufactured items.
Up-vote! Without this change a large portions of our production orders are useless because they cannot be completed. The co-manufacturing costs are not tied to the product cost.
