Scenario:
We are a manufacturing company, who often manufacture goods for use "in house".
Once the order is entered, and manufacture is complete, the finished part is booked into stock.
If its then "PGI", it removes the stock, which is not what is required as the finished item is held in stock, and the costings will be inaccurate.
If the order is left live, and the finished item is moved to an alternative stock location set up for this purpose, then automatic (unwanted) purchase orders are placed overnight to enable manufacture of an item SAP believes is no longer built.
How are you able to leave an item in stock but close the order?
