deletion flag could not be set to PM Order -reg

Hi,

To archive old PM orders we are trying to put deletion flag which we could not do due to the error

Release order before saving

but when i try to do it through IW32...order ..functions .... release is not active (its grey )

when i open order in IW32 , order status is CLSD MANC NMAT PRC SETC

when i try to put deletion flag order status is changing to CLSD DLFL MANC NMAT PRC SETC with the error "Release order before saving "

i could not save as its an error when i come out and open again its again CLSD MANC NMAT PRC SETC

with out deletion flag set

whats the issue

any inputs ?

regards,

Madhu Kiran
