Hello all!We have an accounting employee that when running large jobs, gets kicked out of Acumatica. I know we can change the time out which we have to 30 minutes. We lowered it for security reasons. I didn’t see a way to change it per person so I assume that is not allowed. Is there a way to trick the system to stay logged in longer? Moving the mouse, etc.Thank You!

I’m working with a customer who is setting up a fairly lengthy configurator for their industrial product. He discovered that if he missed an option for one of the features, and then adds it in under the Features form, that it will not pull this new option into the selection set within the maintenance for his configuration. He ends up having to delete the feature, and then add it back in and recreate all the rules associated with that feature. I did see that you can export options and rules, then import them again when you recreate which should help the situation.Has anyone else noticed this, and is there any other way to update the feature without having to remove it from the configuration. I tried using the refresh tool and that didn’t appear to pull in the new option. Thanks in advance for any assistance or suggestions.

This seems to be an interesting function but we dont know what business case it would be helpful in.As it provides a string of all values it has limited value but there must be some reason why it was added.I would be interested to know if anyone has found a use for this.ThanksJames 

Hello, we are in 2024R1, can anyone please suggest the best way to hide this side panel. We are able to hide the actions inside the side panel but not the entire panel.   

Hello-The mission is to use business event to trigger an import scenario subscriber to create AP Bills. The business event will be triggered on a schedule, the source screen is a Generic Inquiry containing fields that is required for an AP Bill creation. The bill ref. nbr is auto generating. We want to create bills based on vendor ID. Meaning if each line record in the GI has the same vendor, then they should all be imported under the same vendor in the same bill. Currently, my business event is firing, and it is creating a bill. But it is creating one bill per each line on the generic inquiry. I want one bill per vendor. This is the import scenario, salesPersonID field on the GI is the field we want to use as vendor on AP Bill.  This is the Generic InquiryI’m open to any suggestions.Thanks! 

We have a maintenance service contract with a customer that has multiple locations, and need to bill the contracts for all the locations into one bill to the main customer. We need separate contracts because the appointments need to be created for each location being sent to different field technicians. 

Hi,Have noticed that when it comes to shipping our manufactured items, the Shipment document will split one shipped item ID into multiple lines, which corresponds to one for each quantity we produced under Move/Labor under Manufacturing.I presume this is because an allocation is created for each Move/Labor document, as opposed to the gross produced quantity as a whole.Needless to say, this can get rather messy when shipping, if for example we manufacture 1 units per day for 60 days. When we ship the 60 units, we end up with a long Shipment document of 60 lines of the identical item with 1 qty each and a puzzled freight carrier.Is there any way of consolidating the Shipment document to present this as one shipment line based solely on the Inventory ID?Thanks in advance!

Hi all,Someone asked me an excellent question, and I’m asking here because it feels like something there probably is an existing tutorial for, but I'm failing to find it in my searches.Assuming a customer has Azure Entra ID configured for logins, and native users are all forbidden (So OData via basic Passwords isn’t available)Has anyone got complete instructions/a complete tutorial for configuring a PowerBI connection to Acumatica as a Connected Application (To retrieve data)?I’m slightly afraid I’m going to have to teach myself how to write a Power Query connector from scratchhttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/connect-data/desktop-connector-extensibility#certified-connectors(I have looked into installing the Acumatica content pack for Power BI, but I’m under the impression that pack isn’t maintained fully, and I’m having problems installing it which I’ve reached out to Microsoft support to help me diagnose.)

Hello, I'd like some advice on how to appropriately configure pricing and discounts to solve a business need. Here's a concrete example:- For simplicity, let's say we have three different 12oz Cups: white, black, blue. - If a Customer orders 120 12oz Cups, in various colors, they get 10% off those products. - I can't set up this scenario using Sales Prices, so I'm using a Group Discount instead. I like everything about the functionality of Group or Document level discounts...except for one thing: On the ARTran table, the Sales Price—and resulting product margin—aren't correct, because it's applying the discount as a separate line item.  I'm hoping there is just a setting somewhere to "apply discount to components evenly". How have others handled this limitation, or is there anything I'm not thinking of?  ​​​

Hi,  I’m trying to set up an approval map for orders based on the terms in the financial section of the SO. See attached image. However the orders don’t go into approval mode. It goes straight to open.   

Hi Acumatica TeamI have a FA that have been reversed on feb 2024, currently my client needs to Close 11-2025 period but he can’t, Acumatica show the following message:Not deprecated by the book in 11-2025 period:I did the tracking of the depreciation, and I verify that my client only calculates the depreciation of 11-2025 but without running the depreciation.I verify that Acumatica does not allow reversing the calculation.Is there a way to close the period in this scenario?Thanks you very much for your attention Karolina 

I’m trying to create an import scenario that will trigger the “Create Quote” button on the opportunity record.I’ve tried placing the dialoges in a few different spots and using opportunity summary for the <Dialog Answer>. No luck yet.Thanks for the help,Matt 

i have a scenario where a client (a sub not GC) has billed out a subcontract agreement in full but has noticed that throughout the life of the project they may get deductive change orders as progress on the project continues.  these deductive change orders are often pass through to their subs.  however, since the subcontract agreement has been billed in full, the system does not allow a deductive commitment change order to be created.the steps to rectify this would be to:create a debit memo in bills and adjustments and tie it to the subcontract agreement create the commitment change order with the deduct amountsit would be really nice if the system would automatically created the debit memo from the commitment change order (maybe a future idea?)does anyone handle this different? 

I am running into this problem, and I can’t seem to find a clear answer online anywhere. I am trying to set up an automation that will trigger a business event to send an email once a week to our customers. However, I can’t get the actual scheduled automation to trigger in order to even test that the business event and email are working the way I want them to. I’ll attach a couple screenshots of how the automation is set up:Details ScreenSchedule screenConditions and filter values are both blankEvents tabAutomation Schedule Statuses PageAnd here is the Schedule Statuses page which also shows my automation as not having the green checkmark next to it. Thank you in advance for any help and please let me know if there’s any additional information I can provide.

In the Process Order screen, I have added a custom StringList field to the grid. When I apply a filter on this field in the grid level, the filtering works only for the currently loaded page. If I navigate to the next page, the filter then applies only to those page records, not across all pages.Could you please suggest the correct approach to make the filter work across all pages/records? public delegate IEnumerable ordersDelegate(); [PXOverride] public virtual IEnumerable orders(ordersDelegate basemethod) { PXUIFieldAttribute.SetDisplayName<SOOrder.customerID>(Base.Caches[typeof(SOOrder)], Messages.CustomerID); SOOrderFilter filter = PXCache<SOOrderFilter>.CreateCopy(Base.Filter.Current); if (filter.Action == PXAutomationMenuAttribute.Undefined) yield break; if (_ActionChanged) Base.Orders.Cache.Clear(); PXSelectBase<SOOrder> cmd = GetSelectCommand(filter); AddCommonFilters(filter, cmd); int startRow = PXView.StartRow;

Hi everyone,We’re running into an issue with Amazon ASNs generated from Acumatica that is currently blocking Amazon shipments, and we’re looking for guidance or best practices.Scenario: We use Acumatica integrated with TrueCommerce for Amazon shipments. Transaction Manager is configured for Pick & Pack. However, ASNs generated from Acumatica are still coming through as ASNType = No Pack. When Transaction Manager expects Pick & Pack but receives a No Pack ASN, the import fails with “Import Format Not Found” (understandably, due to the ASN type mismatch).What we’ve observed: Shipments can be confirmed even if the Pack step is not fully completed. In some cases, a package row exists, but: No contents are assigned to the package, and/or No tracking number exists prior to shipment confirmation. When we attempt to use Auto Pack, we receive an error indicating that the shipment items are not represented in an Auto-Pack Template. Because packages (with contents + track

Hi We have 9 warehouses and use average cost.  We want the same stock item to have the same average cost across all warehouses.  Unfortunately, this isn’t working for us, and each warehouse has its own average cost. This makes sales margin reporting a nightmare.  Our auditors are also questioning our inventory costing method.Can Acumatica do the same average cost for an item across all warehouses?  The help manual says “yes”,If the Average valuation method (also known as average moving cost) is assigned to the stock item, the unit cost will be calculated as the average weighted cost of all items at the warehouses—that is, the total costs of all quantities of the inventory items at the warehouses divided by the total quantity.but our support company says “no”. thanks

A number of ERPs have the option run weighted average costing at a Stock Item level. While Acumatica has an average cost on the price/cost tab of a stock item, cost of sales on invoicing and stock valuation uses Item Warehouse average cost or Location average cost (if costing at location level). Is there a solution to achieve Item level costing? I am considering running standard cost and using a business event triggered by IN Receipts to recalculate a stock level average cost; update the Pending cost ;and then use an import scenario to run the Update Standard cost process. What I need is a GI that does the right calculation. Unfortunately when standard cost is used the average cost stored on a stock item is the standard cost and the actual average cost is not recorded. If any one has tried and would share the GI, this would be appreciate. 

I have a development instance of Acumatica 2025R2 setup and am testing sending requests to the OData DAC endpoints. Specifically I am targeting the PX_Objects_CS_Segment endpoint and have noticed an issue when including the Length field in the $select parameter. When testing in Postman, these requests return the expected data:{{EndpointURLDAC}}/t/SalesDemo/api/odata/dac/PX_Objects_CS_Segment {{EndpointURLDAC}}/t/SalesDemo/api/odata/dac/PX_Objects_CS_Segment?$top=5 {{EndpointURLDAC}}/t/SalesDemo/api/odata/dac/PX_Objects_CS_Segment?$select=SegmentID,DimensionID,Descr,EditMask,FillCharacter,tstamp,LastModifiedDateTimeThese requests result in ECONNRESET errors:{{EndpointURLDAC}}/t/SalesDemo/api/odata/dac/PX_Objects_CS_Segment?$select=SegmentID,DimensionID,Descr,EditMask,FillCharacter,tstamp,LastModifiedDateTime,Length {{EndpointURLDAC}}/t/SalesDemo/api/odata/dac/PX_Objects_CS_Segment?$select=LengthIs there something special about the Length field that the DAC endpoint is having an issue wi

Is there a way to run turnover automatically? I see automation schedule as a option for turnover, however that sets the period to be one defined value, meaning that the schedule will break when the month starts. Is there a way to keep this program running indefinitely?
