ISSUE:
When receiving goods in PPS300 to POs migrated from On-Prem, we need to use the original lot number from the supplying BU.
However, we are getting an alert/error message that says "The lot is connected to another reference" and M3 does not allow to procced to the next step.
CAUSE:
The lot created in On-Prem had 1-Manufact order as Ref order category and we are no longer able to change to 2-Purchase order because Report Receipt has been done to the MO by the supplying BU.
SOLUTION/WORK-AROUND:
1. Receive the PO with the proposed lot number in PPS300.
2. Once units reflect in MWS068, select stock/lot line and click Balance ID-Reclassify (MMS130)
3. Select Calc method 0-New item/New lot and click Next
4. Type in New Lot No, New Qty and Trans reason T03-Lot number and click Next.
5. Click F3 or Actions -> Close
6. Check in MWS068 that correct units and new/updated lot number are reflecting.
NOTE: This process should only be applied to receiving of migrated POs that result to an alert/error message that says "The lot is connected to another reference".
