Production Order Completed – Move Transaction Allowed but Order Cannot Be Closed Due to Workflow

We are experiencing a workflow issue related to Production Orders in Acumatica Manufacturing and would like clarification on expected system behavior.

In our case:

  • A Production Order was marked as Completed

  • After completion, the system still allowed posting additional transactions, including Move transactions

  • However, when attempting to Close the Production Order, we receive the following error:

“Select a production order for which transactions are allowed according to the workflow.”

We understand that Acumatica may allow late Labor or Material adjustments after an order is marked Completed, but we have not seen clear documentation confirming whether Move transactions are expected or supported after Completed status.

Questions:

  1. Is it expected behavior that Acumatica allows Move transactions after a Production Order is marked Completed?

  2. If allowed, should this prevent the Production Order from being Closed later due to workflow validation?

  3. Is this considered a workflow limitation, configuration setting (Production Order Type), or a known issue?

  4. Are there recommended best practices to prevent Move transactions after Completed status?

We would appreciate clarification on whether this is standard system behavior or a potential defect.

Thank you!

@jvarughese23 

I believe it could have something to do with the below settings regarding “allowing move transactions after a production order is marked completed”:

Could you share some screenshots of the error for an answer to 2, and 3 please.

 

For 4, You should set “Move on Completed Operations”, “Excess Qty. for Operations”, and “Excess Qty. for Orders” as “Do Not Allow”

@aiwan  I reviewed the Production Order Type settings and confirmed that:

  • Move on Completed Operations is currently set to Allowed

  • Excess Quantity for Operations is Allowed

  • Excess Quantity for Orders is Allowed

And the Move transaction that was posted after the Production Order was marked as Completed was  Excess Quantity transaction. . Q 2& 3 are my doubts , Following is the Error

If you want to stop move transactions going through after the production order is complete, you should set the setting to “Do not allow”.

 

Thanks for sharing the error, could you please share the trace?
