Unlink a Linked Despatch Order
Important:
- An invoiced linked DO cannot be unlinked.
- If a parent despatch order (PDO) is unlinked, its child despatch orders (CDOs) are also unlinked. If a CDO is unlinked, it is removed from its PDO and becomes a regular DO.
- If the configuration of the contract link has the Contract Link Evaluation set to Manual, after a linked DO is unlinked, a new linked DO can be recreated manually.
- A linked DO in a trade with a closed status cannot be unlinked.
Security Note: You need the Allow the user to maintain despatch orders security right in the Contracts domain security rights group for this activity.
