Master Plan

Question

Hello dear comminity!

Can anyone help me with the following "issue" im facing in Microsoft Dynamics 365?

I noticed that whenever I confirm a purchase order that was created from the planned orders, the confirmation version is 2 instead of 1. Why is that? This only happens with orders created with the master plan. My theory is that the first confirmation version is the one made when the purchase order is approved and firmed but I am not sure.

Thanks so much in advance! Looking forward to your theories

Answer 2

In Microsoft Dynamics 365, when you confirm a purchase order (PO) that was created from planned orders, the confirmation version may start at 2 instead of 1 due to the workflow involved in the approval process. When a PO is initially created and approved, it is assigned the status of Approved, which is considered the first version of the PO. However, once the PO is confirmed, it generates a new version, which is why you see version 2 upon confirmation.

This behavior is consistent with how POs are managed in the system, especially when they are created from planned orders. The initial approval version is essentially the first iteration, and the confirmation represents a subsequent change, leading to the version increment.

If you have enabled change management, the PO goes through an approval workflow, and the versioning reflects this process as well.
