Environment
SAP Business ByDesign

First, create an extension filed in both production order and production task.
- Select Key user setting and open the adaptation mode.
- Navigate to Production Control work center.
- Go to Production Orders view.
- Show children of production orders filed in Adaption view.
- Click Add then choose Extension filed.
- Select Business Context as Production Order - General Information.
- Choose Create new, then input XXX in Field Label filed(XXX represents the name of Extension filed).
- Click save.
- Check the check box of ‘Is Already Added’ for Filed Label XXX.
- Then click Show Further Usage.
- Go to Extension Scenarios tab.
- Click Add Filed button for desired scenarios.
- In Adaption view, click Save and Publish.
- Now navigate to Production Control work center.
- Go to Task Control view.
- Show children of task control filed in Adaption view.
- Click Add then choose Extension filed.
- Check the check box of ‘Is Already Added’ for Filed Label XXX.
- In Adaption view, click Save and Publish.
Now update the Extension filed in a released Production Order.
- Navigate to Production Control work center.
- Go to Production Orders view.
- Create Production Order YYY(YYY represents the name of Production Order).
- Open Production Order YYY and go to General tab - production order details subtab.
- Enter "a" in XXX filed and Save it.
- Release Production Order YYY.
- Now navigate to Production Control work center.
- Go to Task Control view.
- Search for ZZZ, can see the XXX filed with value "a"(ZZZ represent the name of Production Task).
- Go back to Production Order YYY, change value in XXX filed from "a" to "b" then save it.
- Go back to Production Task ZZZ, the XXX filed still shows value "a" instead of "b".
It is unable to change the value in extension filed in task view which has been created and modified in related production order general tab.
Cause
The extension field which created under the production order general tab will only be updated during the creation of the task. As soon as the production order is released, a production task will get created and the extension field will be updated.
Once the production task is created, it cannot be updated again under the general tab. The extension field value will not flow from a production order to a production task.
Resolution
This is a standard system behavior.
