We have a problem appearing out of the blue with receiving a material line on a purchase order.

  1. Single PO line, material type, direct issue purchase.
  2. In the Receiving app, we open the PO (no current receipt lines), Select Ordered Items, check the box next to the one line, and return.
  3. When we attempt to save the receipt, the error appears "BMXAA2996E - Change status is not valid." The receipt is not saved.

I've queried the usual database fields involved in PO errors and didn't find anything jumping out at me. It's direct issue, so there should be no status change in the work order. There was a script launch point on matrectrans to take action on Inspection Required, but the error occurs with the script and launch point inactive.

I can't figure out where to look. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi @Robert Goff! Does the material you are using require inspection? Have you tried one that doesn't want inspection? Have you tried a PO for stock?

I give you some ideas to try:

  • Check if the material you are using requires inspection.
    - Create a new ITEM and do not check "Requires inspection", add it to the warehouse and do the same test with a new ITEM. It is used to know if the problem is in the master data (ITEM, INVENTORY)
    - Use and old ITEM that does not require inspection. It is to know if the problem is the inspection status.
    - Replicates the PO, but with stock material, not direct dispatch. It is to know if the problem is in the direct dispatch type
    - Try creating another new WO, change status to APR or INPRG and use it to assume direct dispatch. To know if the problem is in the WO

Let me know. 

Regards!
