Is it possible to have a Purchase Order Transaction but the connected Requisition is On Hold and items are not available in the details ? How is this possible ?  

Hi All,We began implementing Acumatica almost a year ago and have redone a few tenants since then due to changing minds etc. We’re using the Construction edition; have 30ish companies over 3 tenants. 1st tenant contains our Development project companies2nd tenant contains our Subtrade companies and Construction Management company3rd tenant contains all our Construction Management Projects for use in tracking costs for the owners (and to keep that data separate from tenant #2) We’ve had some hiccups implementing and changing things as we learn more about the system.ie. in construction I found it odd that a subcontract gets closed out automatically when the $ value is reached; what if there’s another change order on that subcontract further down the project line (which there often is).  We added an unused task with different cost code in each subcontract named “Force Subcontract to Remain Open” and gave it a dollar value of 0.01.  Now if the actual cost code item reaches or goes over the

Hi ACU community, My company is upgrading from 2021 R1 to 2021 R2 in the upcoming months. I was wondering what the main improvements are? We currently are using the construction module. We like to stay N-1 on upgrades to eliminate any bugs, if it is not worth the upgrade we may wait for the 2022 R1.  Thank you,KT 

We have been on Acumatica for 2 years now, and we have been struggling with getting Acumatica to properly measure a project.  With our current setup, our cost are not applied to our budget, so we have to dump everything into excel and measure the projects manually.  We have been working with our partner on this and our trying our 3 setup to try to get it working. Ideally we would like the task to our project phasing, but the inventory Id seem to constantly be the issue.  When we put stock items to the project they don’t go against the material budget, they create their own line for the sku in the budget. This creates thousands of cost lines in multiple phases that don’t go against the material budget line. this was difficult to manage the project.We tired making the task the work breakout structure and using the inventory Id for the phase, but we run into the same problem.We are now testing task and cost code, but again we have the same issue with inventory and the cost breakouts are e

Hi, There is a requirement need to issue Inventory items for appropriate projects.But there are few resistance we faced and the following steps we mention what our requirement should be.(01). Create a Project with Track by Project Quantity and cost. (02). Under the Cost budget tab we have created a Task and cost codes. (03). Created a PO with appropriate Project. Mentioned Project, Project Task, Cost code.This PO is not showing committed Column as well. We did not attach the projects to Locations in Initial configuration.  (04).

Hi, Does anyone have a generic inquiry I can use to calculate Paid to Date (with ability to view a range of time)?I have been attempting to calculate Paid to Date for our Billings Cost Recap.  I can use the Invoices and memos to calculate a “real time” paid to date (doc amount - Balance = Amount Paid to Invoice). To get this in a date specific manor, I am attempting to use ARRegister & ARAdjust to be able to link the payment amounts to specific projects BY PERIOD.  I have not been successful and would appreciate guidance to producing a paid to date that can be used for historical periods. The amounts must be Project specific.  *I am surprised that Paid To Date is NOT an “out of box” report for the Construction edition. * Please reach out with any questions if you need more information to advise.

Hello everyone, Could someone help me identify when was the version where the "Pro Forma Invoice by Quantities" option appeared? Thanks in advance.

Anyone have ideas on a good subaccount structure for Construction - Electrical subcontractor. I see that branch, service type (revenue) and dept (expense) are typically used in Acumatica especially in the training guides. However, with a smalls subcontractor department really aren’t used. Most costs are linked to a particular job/project and expenses are simply company-wide overhead. Only one type of segment makes sense--service type. Anyone have other suggestions that I can consider? (Thank you in advance!!)

Does anyone have a process that will produce a progress billing based on units in place instead of % complete?The concept is similar, but the SOV is based on Units and Unit Cost to calculate the amount.  Also, need to show Units Previously Billed, Units Billed this Period, Total Units Billed.  Each of those columns would then be multiplied by the Unit Price to calculate, Previous Amount, Amount this Period & Total Amount.

Hello,Our client constructs large buildings and often pays a vendor one large check including bills related to several projects, and sometimes Bills have a PO and some bills that don’t (meaning some lien waivers are automatic and some have been manually added to the bill). I’m not able to figure out how to have one lien waiver created/printed for each project, with totals paid for that project.  Instead, we are getting one lien waiver per BILL and that can mean 70+ lien waivers accompanying one check even when the project is the same on every bill.Does anyone have advice or a solution?  Have I missed the screen where I can choose the generation level for lien waivers (one per bill, one per check, one per project per check, etc.)?Thank you!Laura

Have you encounter a glitch on the license of Acumatica 2019 r2 , our acumatica suddenly became a trial mode . do you have idea what could be the reason of that scenario ? How can i see the logs on this screen ? 

Our construction company is new to Acumatica.  When we look at our subcontract log, we would like to have a column for project so we can filter by projects.  We are trying to add the Project ID number to this generic inquiry however when we do we get no results. The Screen ID is SC3010PL. Any ideas you have would be much appreciated!Kay HoweCFOkhowe@stockmeister.com740-418-5250 

Greetings,One of our customer’s tenants has Branch field available in Projects and Project Templates screens. The second tenant does not.  Enable/Disable screens match in the Projects area and most other areas. Project Preferences isn’t an  exact match but also has no setting that I could identify as project+branch-related. We’d like Branch to appear on projects in all tenants.  What am I missing?  Thank you!Laura

Can a construction project manager share a screen shot of their dashboard? I am trying to get an idea of what information I can display versus what I actually want.
