Work Order - Purchase Order, Pur Req

Hi ​@kruthika ,

Hi,

This behavior is expected in IFS Cloud when PR is generated from a Work Order.

 Why PR stays Closed after cancelling PO

When PR is created from a Work Order demand, the flow is:

Work Order → Purchase Requisition → Purchase Order

 Once PO is created:

• PR is marked as Closed
• Because demand is considered fulfilled

 When you cancel the PO

• PO is cancelled ✅

• But:

  The system does NOT automatically reopen PR

 Reason:

• Demand is still controlled by:
  • Work Order
• PR is treated as:
  • historical document, not active demand

 Key Concept

In Work Order-driven procurement, PR is not the master demand object

 The Work Order demand is the driver
 PR is just a generated step

 How to Fix / Handle

 Option 1: Recreate Demand from Work Order (Recommended)

Go to:

Work Order → Material / Procurement tab

• Remove existing supply
• Re-trigger:
  • Purchase demand

 System will:

• Create new PR
• Status = Released

 Option 2: Manually create new PR

If needed:

• Create new PR manually
• Link to Work Order

 Option 3: Reopen PR (Not Recommended / Not Standard)

• PR reopen is generally:
  • Not allowed
  • Not consistent with system logic

 Especially for:

• WO-generated PR

 Best Practice

✔️ Always handle from Work Order side
✔️ Let system regenerate PR

 Important Note

This differs from:

• Standard PR → PO flow

 In that case:

• PR may reopen

But for:

• Work Order-driven PR
