underdelivery in MO: through 'cancel' wrong state

[Steffi Frank (Bremskerl, DE)]

6.0

steps to reproduce:

- create / confirm / start MO with 10 PCE
- produce 8 PCE
- cancel MO (remaining qty will not get produced)

MO gets in state 'Cancelled'. IMHO it should get a state which defines the MO as 'Done Partial'. Otherwise reports above MO states induce wrong results.

Hi Steffi,
indeed this is a problem when you cancel partially product MO,
but adding a new state will not solve this problem properly,

After fixing:
I have a MO with 10 qty,
I produce 8 qty,
I cancel the MO and the state will be "Done Partial" (Instead of "Canceled" )

again for this case we have no way to find how much qtys are produced and how much qtys are canceled without production from the lists of MO, as we did nothing except changed state to "Done Partial" Instead of "Canceled" , (yes, of course it will give a small hint and we can check it by opening the form view when we see the state "Done Partial")
so,
if we want to find out the qty, we can check the produced (done) and/or canceled in field "Consumed Products" on form view of MO, (yes its not a good solution right now)

to summarize:
we can not adapt the changes to add new state (not a good solution as we also have to take care about the workflow)
may be you if have a problem with the production report we will have a look on that,
Can you please share your views?

Thanks

Rucha,

"again for this case we have no way to find how much qtys are produced and how much qtys are canceled without production" - how will you find out if MO is in state 'canceled'? I can't see the advantage of keeping this state.

"if we want to find out the qty, we can check the produced (done) and/or canceled in field 'Consumed Products' on form view of MO" - In here I do not understand the relation between 'finished goods partial produced' and "consumed products"... :-(

Imagine a salesman trying to find out about the state of procurement for a selected sales order: he opens MO tree, filters 'source document' and gets the information 'canceled'! Instead of 'parts of your sales order are produced' (for any further information you always have to open the form, I agree).

So, question is not how to generate nice reports but how to give a qualified information through software....

Surely the MO tree view needs color coding like other tree views.

gray - "cancelled & zero produced"
blue - "in production"
green - 'cancelled & partially produced'
black - 'done & fully produced'

Or some other color combinations to reflect the sensible subset of 'state X produced qty'
