Anyone tried connecting or integrating Acumatica to Elkon Concrete Batching plant system ? Can anyone tell me how compatible are the two system and what can we expect on the integration?

When creating a Crew Time Reporting Entry, the first week that pops up as an option to click dates back to 2004. Should it not default to the current week that we are in, based upon the calendar within Acumatica? 

Hi!Does Acumatica 2021R2 have an easier method for handling materials only sales without setting up a job and not using the Sales Order module?Thank you,Dave Z

Our CEO has recently requested a WIP Widget for his dashboard and I am working on creating this. I was hoping someone could guide me in the right direction, as this is the first widget I have created from scratch. Relations and all are confusing to me. Any assistance would be great. Thanks in advance!!

Before I submit a support ticket, I want to see if the Acumatica community knows how to resolve this workflow. Create purchase order for a project - using stock items as PO line items Create PO receipt - change warehouse location from default MAIN to B1A1 (indicating the shelf that this was placed on The system automatically changed the project ID to X - I cannot change this back. The project is set to track inventory by qty and cost. The warehouse location does not specify the project because it is not designated to that project specific. We can put anything on shelf B1A1. We may receive project material, put it on B1A1, then move it to another location (Transfer) - but this material is project-specific, it is not inventory. Anybody know how to achieve this?   

Hi,When we create a pre payment request for a subcontractor, it is not allowed to change the retainage percentage in the prepayment. I got to know this is a known issue not yet resolved. Is there any workaround to overcome this other than change the retainage in the subcontractor (Get back to the on hold status and change)  and then do the prepayment request ? The supposed workaround is not practical because if we have created at least one AP invoice, It is not allowed to get back to the on hold status.  Thank you,Dulanjana

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, 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
