# Reassign Production Order Materials

:lock: ProductionOrder.**Reassign**

## Overview

This operation is used to reassign one or more **Materials** from a *Production Order*.

## Setup

No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The **Material** old and new (if any) **Production Orders* are active and in the state *Created*, *Released*, *In Progress* or *Completed*.
* The **Material** old and new (if any) **Production Orders** must not be restricted.
* The **Material** to be re-assigned must be active.
* If the new (if any) **Production Order** has the option *Validate material products* set, the **Materials** to be assigned must have a **Product** which belongs to the reverse **Product** tree of the **Production Order** **Product**.
