Hi,

Is it somehow possible to connect a DOP order to a project after the DOP order has been released?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @ALHKEST ,

 

Functionally it is not possible to connect/disconnect the Project connection once the DOP is Released.

When you are releasing a DOP connected to a Project number of things are taking place in the system, such as updating costs, postings, objects (shop orders, purchase orders, etc.) in connection to the project.
Now, if you try to change/add project to a Released DOP neither of above will take place. Hence, it is not allowed to do in the application.

However, if it is critical to change/add project to your DOP then you will have to Cancel the current DOP and create a new.

Thank you for your reply Tharindu,

I was hoping for a way around this. Is there no possibility to connect the project to the DOP afterwards?

We have an integration that creates the customer order lines, connects them to the project, fills in the DOP structure and releases the DOP. We have added the project connection to the customer order afterwards, but we see that it doesn’t reflect down on the shop orders.

Best regards,

Kerstin

Hi @ALHKEST ,

According to the standard functionality that is the behavior. 
After releasing you cannot add the project connection. I believe you will have to go for a customization.
