Reverting a manufacturing order is great when adjustments are needed for completed orders or to disassemble a product. This process is essential for maintaining accurate inventory records and production flexibility.
Why revert a manufacturing order?
You may need to revert a completed manufacturing order (MO) if:
You accidentally marked it as Done
You need to disassemble a product and return materials to stock
You want to edit details that are locked once the MO is completed
Note: MOs in a closed inventory period cannot be reverted.
What happens when you revert an MO?
Reverting a manufacturing order reverses all associated inventory movements:
Affected item | Change after reverting |
Product (finished item) |
|
Materials & subassemblies |
|
These changes ensure your inventory reflects that the order was not finalized.

How to revert a manufacturing order
You can revert a completed MO either from the Schedule tab or directly from the MO card.
Step-by-step
Go to the Make screen in Katana.
From the Schedule tab, click on the Done table to view completed MOs.
Find the MO you want to revert.
Change its production status back to:
Not started — to completely reset the MO
Work in progress — to continue production without resetting everything
You can also do this from the upper right-hand corner of the MO card.
Note: If you are reverting an MO that was completed in segments (partially), you'll need to follow these steps to revert.
What you can do after reverting
Edit MO details like ingredients, operations, and quantities
Resume production from where you left off
Re-complete the MO once adjustments are made
Inventory levels will automatically reflect the new MO status.
