Cause

Since you release production order before saving your changes, system will firstly release the production order to create the production lot and then the changes in the logistic area apply to both production lot and production order. This action of automatic saving after the release is updating the production order and production lot for the logistic area and this in turn makes the production confirmation into started status.

Resolution

After changes made in production order, please firstly click Save and then click Release.
