How to link manually added lines from a purchase order to a production order?

When my purchaser creates a purchase order from a production order it understandably creates a single line on the order for the total amount needed of that item for the production order. Currently our process involves lowering the quantity on that first line and breaking the total quantity out into several lines of that same item so that we can put in different promise dates for each line of the PO. When I or my purchaser go back to the production order details and click PO link, the new line appears but the checkbox to link it is inaccessible. Is there a way to make this accessible?

@jschiele Please submit the support ticket for it. There is a known bug which prevent production material line to link with multiple PO lines.
 


I think this is standard Acumatica behavior. The checkbox is created automatically when the PO line is generated from the production order, so it cannot usually be enabled for a manually added or split PO line.

If you need different promise dates, try splitting the material requirement on the production order before creating the PO or else you may need to keep the original linked line or check with Acumatica Support.
