Disconnect Purchase Order Line from Project Activity

Explanation

This activity is used to disconnect a manually connected purchase order line from the project activity. You can perform this activity from the Purchase Order window itself.

Note that it is also possible for you to disconnect manually connected purchase order lines using the Connect/Disconnect dialog box (accessible from the Project Info/Connections tab). Please refer to the activity Connect Existing Object to Activity. 

Prerequisites

• The project connection must have been manually created.
• The purchase order line must be in the Released, Stopped or Confirmed status.
• The purchase order line must not have any created financial transactions, i.e., receipt of goods must not have  taken place.

System Effects

• The purchase order line will be disconnected from the project activity.
• The project's pre-posting will be removed. (It is possible to have postings that are not connected to project activities. Pre-posting for the project code part and the activity sequence will be removed, but pre-posting for all the other code parts will remain.)
• The purchase order line will no longer appear as a connection on the Project Info/Connections tab.
• The purchase order line demand code will be changed back to the demand code that existed prior to connecting the project activity, i.e., to Inventory Order or Non-Inventory Order.
