Hallo,
Is there any function that avoids the users from posting the Report as Finished journal on a production order, even if the required component materials are not physically on hand in inventory?
This is the scenario:
Hi Massimo,
Yes, you can stop users in Dynamics 365 F&O from posting Report as Finished when materials aren’t physically available.
You can handle it by:
Setting physical negative inventory to No, so the system blocks postings that make stock go below zero.
Adding a small validation rule or customization to check stock levels before posting.
Using the material availability check to confirm parts are ready.
Setting up a Power Automate alert to notify the team if someone tries to post without materials.
With a few setup tweaks, you can easily prevent this and keep your inventory accurate.
I assume you are releasing to warehouse as part of production order release. I recommend using material availability check in Production floor management workspace before releasing production orders to make sure there will be no issues with raw material reservation and backflushing.
If you are backflushing raw materials (and not using deferred production order posting) then you will receive error when trying to report as finished if materials are not available. So, that actually prevents user from posting report as finished journal.
