Hi, one of the biggest frustrations our sales department has with IFS is the inability to change the order type on a customer order once the header is saved.  The order type is used in various management reporting so if they select the wrong one, they have to create a new order to fix it and cancel the old one. I spotted this statement in the help but that is not true even in a planned state. It can be changed if you have not saved the header yet.

 

What is the reason for making this field non-editable?  I know it controls the order flow, but I would think you could change it when it's in a planned state?   Are there any plans to make it editable in the future? We are working on upgrading to Apps10, update 17.

Thanks.

 

Hi,

I think the reason is that Order Type is a primary key value in the customer order header record. Then, once is saved, you cannot change or remove it.
