# Change Material Production Order

:lock: Material.**ChangeProductionOrder**

## Overview

This operation is used to change the **Production Order** of a **Material**.

## Setup

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

## Preconditions

* The **Order Management** module is properly licensed in the system.
* The **Material** is active.
* The **Material** must have the Is Delivered property set to `false`.
* Both the new and old **Production Orders** must be active and in one of the following states Created, Released, In Progress or Completed.
* Both the new and old **Production Orders** must not be Restricted.
* The new **Production Order** must be different from the old **Production Order**.
* The **Material** property of the **Production Order** must not reference a **Production Order** that is Closed.
* For each changed **Production Order**, if an Owner Role is defined, you must belong to that Role.

## Sequence of Steps

1. Optionally, review the **Material** details by expanding the **Material** section.
2. Assign the **Material** to None to remove it from the current **Production Order** or to a new **Production Order**.
3. Select **Change** to complete the operation.

This wizard provides the following additional options:

* Apply Production Order priority to Materials - whether to set the **Material** priority with the **Production Order** priority.
* Apply Production Order planned end date to **Materials** - whether to set the **Material** due date with the **Production Order** due date.
* Account to old Production Order - whether the **Material** should still account for the old **Production Order**.
* Account to new Production Order - whether the **Material** should account for the new **Production Order**.
* Apply changes recursively to Sub-Materials - whether the changes apply recursively to all **Sub-Materials** that have the same type as the parent **Material**.
* Remove from old Production Order - whether the **Material** will be removed from the old **Production Order**.

!!! info
    It is possible to define the default value for Apply changes recursively for all Sub-Materials by editing the entry Context = `Material.ChangeProductionOrder` and Element = `ApplyToAllSubMaterials` in the [[guielementdefaultvalue-gt]] Generic Table.
