Reopen Finished Production Orders in Business Central

In manufacturing, accuracy in production records is crucial for maintaining correct inventory levels and cost calculations. However, mistakes can happen even after a production order is marked as Finished. Missing consumption entries or incorrect item tracking can lead to discrepancies in inventory and financial records. To address such issues, Business Central allows you to reopen finished production orders, enabling necessary corrections and ensuring accurate data.


Reopening a finished production order provides flexibility and control over production processes. However, to maintain data integrity, certain restrictions apply:

  • You can reopen finished production orders only one time.
  • You can reopen finished production orders if they don't have output, and cost WIP is written off to your inventory adjustment account.


How to Reopen a Finished Production Order

Follow these simple steps to reopen a finished production order in Business Central:

1.      Navigate to the Finished Production Orders page.

2.      Select the production order you need to edit.

3.      Click the Reopen action.

4.      A confirmation dialog will appear asking, Do you want to reopen the production order?

5.      Click Yes to proceed.
