Does anyone know after you create a purchase order, before its received if you can move the activity coding without recreating a new purchase order or duplicating the lines?

Hi @Athomas1068 ,

If the purchase order line is manually connected to project activity  then you can disconnect and connect to new project activity. 

But the purchase order is generated from the project misc demand , then you cannot change the connected project activity and if you don't want to cancel the order or to create new purchase order then you can move the activity using the below step.

  1. Receive the purchase order to a current project activity
  2. Unreserve the part from the project misc demand
  3. Create Material Transfer Requisition and transfer the stock to right project activity

This will make sure part & cost will be transferred from issuing project activity to receiving project activity.

FYI, If you are transferring between the activities of 2 different project , then make sure receiving project is connected to Plan Netting Group of issuing project

 

There is on more option available , if you want to issue material against a project activity but receive against different activity then you can enable the material allocation in project header as Within Project and this will allow parts can be reserved and issued from the entire project inventory, including from activities other than the demand activity. Choose this value if the procuring activity should carry the cost of procuring the parts even if other activities issue the parts.

 

Hope this helps!!
