Production order cancellations: Reversing consumption in Business Central V26

Writing on his blog, Ammolh Saallvi stated that production orders are essential for manufacturing, but sometimes plans change, and orders need to be canceled. 

He noted that if materials have already been used, reversing the process can be complicated. However, Business Central V26 makes this easier by providing a simpler way to undo material usage and cancel production orders smoothly.

Saallvi pointed out that if you’ve started a production order, used materials, and then need to cancel it for some reason, you couldn't just delete the order in older versions of D365BC. He wrote that the system had to properly undo the material usage to keep inventory and financial records accurate. Saallvi added that this usually meant making manual adjustments, which took time and could lead to mistakes.

He noted that D365BC V26 introduces the "reverse production order transaction" action, which makes it easier to undo material usage and output transactions. In his blog post, Saallvi explained how this feature works.
