You would have to turn the Change Log on for OrderRel. You would be able to see when it was closed, but not why. You could put a BPM in that when a Release is manually closed, it requires a note.
Either option would need to be enabled.
Book Orders needs to be turned on in company config.
Changelog needs to be enabled via Data Directive and the correct fields selected.
Last resort, there is a changedby field on the order, maybe only order header, check orderdtl and orderrel.
Here’s a pro tip, never use the same name for BPM’s, solution workbench will overwrite them. “ChangeLog” is a terrible name, right @josecgomez
I didn’t mean the Change Log. In the Order Release table there are 3 fields for Changed By\Date\Time. I’m not sure when they were added but they weren’t available in Vantage!
I just thought you could use these as if a release is closed then you would expect that to be the last change
I think you also would need to be careful when changing the line the release is related to. I would not be surprised if certain changes at the line automatically update the release, which would give you false information. I would test extensively before trying to use it in the way the OP is asking.
Talking about booked orders. I note that there is a field on POheader.Logchanges.
The data dictionary goes to state:
“This field indicates if the system should generate purchase order booking records. Booking tables are used to track changes to POheader.”
Is this functionality that is yet to work or am I missing the point of this field? I don’t see a field related to this in company configuration that is similar to the Book SalesOrder checkbox on the Sales tab, not even sure if it is meant to me the same.
It seems like you’re probably right. Like they either intended to set it up the same way, but didn’t follow through? Or it was set up that way in the past but was abandoned (perhaps once they made Change Logs a thing)?
