When I try to activate an order in Lightning I get the error "Can't activate the order. Make sure the status field has an Activated picklist value and try again":

enter image description here

There are two statuses identified as "Activated" and when I switch back to Classic (without changing anything) it works perfectly. Is there an additional setting somewhere or trick to activating orders in Lightning?

    In lightning are you using quick action to activate it?

  • I'm using the standard Activate button that appears on the form. Deactivate works correctly, but Activate fails with the error above. When I switch back to Classic, the button works fine. Lightning is apparently missing something that allows it to pick up the proper "Activated" status, but for the life of me I can't figure out why that is.

I'm having the same issue right now, however, one thing you can check; the activate status is driven off of the native Status field. It's one of those "special" native picklists that allows you to define a label and API name as well as a purpose. In this case, it's status of the order, which you have two options: Draft or Activated. Ensure you have at least one Status pickval set to Activated.

  • Thank you for the response. I double-checked and I am using the default Order Status field and have two picklist values associated with the Status Category of "Activated". Again, I know it's right because all I have to do is switch back to Classic and it works perfectly. Something in Lightning is tripping it up.

  • I had a thought that maybe having two "Activated" statuses could be the problem so I removed one, but the error remains.

Lightning is apparently looking for a status of "Activated", not a status category of "Activated". Once I added a new status that literally said "Activated", the Activate button worked perfectly.
