Reversing the Output of a Dynamics NAV Released Production Order

I am asked from time to time how to reverse the output of a Dynamics NAV-released Production Order. The need to do this probably was caused by a mistake made when posting the original output.

To illustrate, I created a Dynamics NAV-released Production Order:

Figure 1 – Screenshot of a NAV-released Production Order

Then, using the Dynamics NAV Production Journal or Output Journal, I posted the output of a quantity of 1 to Inventory:

Figure 2 – Screenshot showing a quantity of 1 posted to Inventory

To reverse the output, I use the Dynamics NAV Output Journal.

I enter the Released Production Order number, the Item Number, the Last Operation Number in the Routing, and the quantity as a negative number:

Then I must select the ‘Applies to Entry’ that was created when I posted the original output:

Figure 4 – Screenshot showing that ‘Applies to Entry’ was selected after being created when the original output was posted

After posting the Output Journal and looking at the Item Ledger Entries for this Dynamics NAV Released Production Order, I see that the original output has been reversed.
