Hi All,
I have a requirement to delete production order types that are no longer used by the business. However, production orders are available for the order types. The orders are completely processed and variances settled, but they are not closed.
I understand it is best to close the production orders before deleting the order types, but when trying to close the orders using transaction COHV, the system throws the following errors:
"Purchase order still exists"
"Purchase order item of order still without final billing indic."
I'm assuming the 'Final Invoice' checkbox in the PO has to be selected to close the PO. But the PO is already released and the release cannot be revoked due to follow-on documents (Goods Receipt, Invoice Receipt).
Please let me know if there is a way to close the production orders. If this is not possible, would it be okay to delete the order types using OPJH?
Thanks in advance for your help.
(I noticed similar questions have been asked on here but I'm not sure I understand the impact of deleting order types while there are production orders that are not closed).
