Distribution

Does anyone know of a way to handle the new CO Retail Delivery Fee ($.27 beginning July 1, 2022) either with Avatax or without? Avalara had sent out communications regarding this which stated to perform the following: Merchants subject to this fee will need to add a $0 line item to their orders with the OF400000 tax code. I’m unsure as to how this would be done in Acumatica. Perhaps someone from Acumatica may know if there will be something released in a new build perhaps? 

Can a Stock Item be available for sale to only one customer? We have custom products that are made specific for one customer and we don’t want these available to other customers or to be accidently sold to other customers. 

When running the inventory planning module, I create the transfer order from the inventory planning screen. No matter what status I have that order in, Open, On Hold, Back Order, the inventory planning does not count it as supply. I know this because when I regen the inventory planning the demand comes back like it is not fulfilled. Why is this a problem?Sometime, the transfer order cannot be fulfilled right away. Then the regen happens and another transfer order gets created and now we have too much supply coming to fulfill that order once we do get stock. Has anyone else seen this as a problem for them? How do you handle it?

Hi,What are the steps to configure or use the GS1 barcode in Acumatica? Any example? Thanks,EV

I have a customer who has been anxiously waiting for the ability to complete a 2-step transfer on the mobile app. I see now that you can actually select Transfer Receipt as on option under Purchase Receipts:However, all I seem to be able to do is create the record. I can’t find anywhere to enter the Transfer Order to receive. Help?Thanks!   

My goal is to have shipping instructions auto populated to the Notes field in Shipment when the shipment is created.  The idea is to populate the insturctrions in the Notes of the location in the customer and have that note auto populate the Note of the shipment when a shipment is made with that customer. I have tried the following but its not working so far and thought I would open up the conversation to the group for discussion.I created a generic inquiry to pull the notesI built an import scenario And the following business event to which I am not sucessfully able to attach a subscriberI succesfully created a data provider from excel but not able to achieve success creating a data provider from a GI Anyway, its not working. Perhaps there is a simpler solution? What are your thoughts? 

My client needs the ability to have multiple shipment open on a sales order simultaneously. The create shipments to tell the warehouse to prepare configuration of the shipping items, prepares a pro-forma invoice, and creates a shipment to send to US Customs.What have others done for their clients to achieve this or this type of need, workflow customizations?

Hello,I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a resolution for this issue:The following error appears when attempting to create a shipment for an order for which the Sched. Shipment date is greater than the current date.This would be considered a bug to us, as there is no reason you should be prevented from shipping an order earlier than requested.This is a required field that is pre-populated from the SO Requested On field, and results in an additional unnecessary and confusing step of manually altering the scheduled shipment date to the current day before creating the shipment.We are shipping non-stock items, back order allowed, allow negative quantity, but that should not matter.I know this was previously a known issue but we are using 2023 R1 where it was supposedly resolved years ago  TYVM!Kyle

Hello all,Can anyone let me know from where can we display this Allocated text in the footer of the screen?The build version of the instance is 22.113.0040 Thanks in advance.

We are trying to work out how to automate the allocation of stock to orders which cannot be fully completed.There is no process to automatically “allocate” stock to orders.  It would be great if there was.Due to stock shortages and the need to keep customers happy our client has to manually allocate stock to orders which is very time consuming.  Some customers end up getting 10% of the order, some all of it if it is a very large order; there are many factors that come into play. Thanks 

Customers are being alerted by FedEx that the development for the FedEx Web Services (SOAP) integration has been discontinued in preparation for its retirement.  FedEx is suggesting to modernize the integration by using the FedEx API (REST) solution.  Does Acumatica have a schedule for the conversion of the FedEx plugin to use the FedEx Rest API services?

We’re trying to configure Acumatica so that certain programming information — specifically the contractor’s email and phone number — is stored in the Customer record and then automatically printed on the Sales Order whenever a specific group of items is ordered.Has anyone implemented something similar? We would prefer to do this without a Customization Project. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, We’ve been using Acumatica WMS for about two years now. We were initially excited about the picking functionality—using a smartphone via the Acumatica app, or a handheld scanner—but it has not lived up to our expectations. I’m curious if anyone is having success? Here are our pain points: In order to pick via the handheld, you also need a printed picking worksheet to know where to go and what to pick. Using the Review screen during the pick is inefficient to look back-and-forth between. I wish the picking screen would tell you more about where to go, what SKUs and quantities to pick, rather than leaving you “blind” to that information.  It is therefore much easier for our team to just use the printed picking worksheet to pick orders. Using the handheld takes much longer.  As far as I know there’s no way to simply mark a picking worksheet as “picked” in Acumatica. You have to actually scan everything (which takes forever). Therefore our team just deletes the picking worksheet aft

Hello everyone  My company requires to open several shipments that have several lines (products) of one SO. Acumatica doesn’t allow you to have an open (unconfirmed) shipment add modify the sale order simultaneously. I need to  create multiple open shipments at the same time. If you create one shipment it lock the SO and doesn’t allow you to create additional shipments without confirming them. Does anyone know how to unlock the SO? 

I am trying to set up my Carrier Labels for both UPS and FedEx integrations. I have verified UPS and FedEx have a ZPL label format file type chosen.Do I have to go to Report Designer for the Carrier Label form and build a label from scratch? I assumed Acumatica, via its connections built in for UPS, would have a UPS label file already built.

Hello, i am trying to adjust in a part, which is not set as serial tracking..when I adjust in as inventory count reason, it asked me for receipt nbr.. can someone shed some sort of light please?Thank you Zoey 

Hello,   We recently updated our module. When generating purchase orders the warehouse location is auto defaulting to the wrong location. how would i mass change this to the correct location?  After reviewing Vendor profiles, we discovered the purchase settings for WAREHOUSE within the profile is blank. With that said we cannot figure out why it would default to the wrong location and why our data was deleted after the update.  Not sure if we will have to change this for each individual vendor one at a time or if a mass data dump possible.  thank you. 

We have a customer that requires the use of data matrix barcodes containing multiple pieces of data (Item barcode and serial number). The Acumatica WMS will read this type of 2D barcode, but we are not able to print them in order to label items.What solutions or ISVs are available to allow us to print the product labels?

I’ve been digging into some freight margin details lately, and I noticed that some Drop-Shipment Shipments (that are really PO Receipts) have a Freight Cost that is hitting our ARTran table. Does anyone know how that is calculated and why Acumatica automatically applies that (mystery) cost to the Invoice? In our scenario, our Drop-Ship POs are truly not drop-ships, we are purchasing services from a vendor, not physical products. There is no freight cost associated to these receipts, so how/why is that calculated? 

There needs to be a default warehouse that should be set by the user (or the device). While it is possible to have “warehouses inside warehouses”, in many use cases a worker will always be in the same warehouse. So the mobile app should assume that the user’s warehouse is that default warehouse, with the option to override (i.e. item lookup screen….it shoud default to the worker’s warehouse so this doesn’t have to be entered repeatedly.

Hello: How Can I remove this line, that was created by error: Thank you  

I have a non-stock item set to Close PO Line: “By Amount”. If I add this item to a Purchase Order manually, the Close PO Line setting carries over to the PO Line correctly.If I use the Create Purchase Orders screen to create a PO with that same non-stock item, the PO Line is created with Close PO Line = “By Quantity”.  The Close PO Line field is not editable on the Purchase Order line and this is impacting our ability to process partial AP Bills correctly against the PO Line.Has anyone else run into this situation?Am I missing something in the configuration?  Inquiry showing the issue for just one of our items set to Close PO Line by Amount
