I don’t know what happened in Acumatica over the weekend, but here is our issue:
Service Appointments marked as “Completed” no longer allow us to add new inventory items and “Mark for PO”.
This may seem strange that we want to do that, but we have been doing it for quite some time already. We mark the appointment completed when the log is complete and we need the time to go onto the service technician’s time sheet. Up until today we were able to add items to order on the appointment, and then add a separate log later when the technician returns to install the ordered part.
Is there a setting that we can change and allow “Mark for PO” Items to be added? The frustrating pain point that other people have talked about: If we “Reopen” The appointment, we completely loose the tracked employee time in the log.
A change was introduced in 2022 R2 Update 18 (https://community.acumatica.com/retired-versions-65/acumatica-2022-r2-update-18-build-22-218-0023-18911). Users being able to select the Mark for PO check box on completed appointments was a desing bug in the system (becuase the system had validations in place to forbid users to complete the appointment if items had the Mark for PO check box selected and the item was not processes through a purchase order).
Please revise the release notes form that update, under AC-262931.
To select the Mark for PO check box, users need to reopen the appointment. There is a new action we will introduce for 2024 R2 called Edit. This action will move the appointment from a “Completed” status to a “In Process” without losing the information registed on the Log tab.
@Kandy Beatty , We didn’t do one over the weekend, but we did one earlier last week related to Acumatica Payments. They are completely different parts of Acumatica, so I don’t think that should have affected the Service Side.

Thanks for the information on the upcoming “Edit” action. From the way that you describe it, I think it will be very useful, as it solves the problem of losing the Log. We’ll look forward to it!
