Audit from scheduling

Hello,The scheduler could schedule a production order late if either materials are unavailable or if needed capacity does not exist.Is there any audit GI or report available so you can check why a production order was not scheduled when it was needed?Thanks,Larry

Generic Inquiry Keeps defaulting to a un expected value.

I have a GI that seems to keep defaulting to a value when i have no default value set. The report works however its just annoying to have to change the value every time We really dont use the “stocked” class for much.  This is what I want This is what I get every time ..  Here are my ParamsAnd Conditions As you can see I don’t store anything as a “default” value.

Return Materials that were over-issued to a Production Order in Scan Materials

We have a customer that needs to be able to issue materials using the Scan Materials and then after the production run is completed, return the balance from the Production Order to inventory.  There is a remove function on the Scan Materials form but it only appears to work within an existing batch.  Entering a negative number causes an error that something else has updated the batch record.  If all of the material was issued initially, the user gets a message that the inventory would go negative when the Item Number is entered and does not allow you to advance to the Qty to return or remove.Has anyone else created a customized Scan Materials form that allows the user to return materials from a Production Order?  The Materials will be lotted items as well.

Incoming inspection (manufacturing environment)

We have parts that we need to inspect on receipt before they can be sold.  We have an inventory location that we receive to that does not allow sales (issues).  We would like to create a production order to inspect these items but cannot issue them from the receipt location to a production order. Any ideas on a better approach to handle incoming inspections, including scheduling and prioritizing the inspections?

Create Production Orders - Choose BOM Revision

Are there any configuration options to choose BOM revision as part of the Create Production Orders processing screen? Customer has many items that have more than 1 valid BOM revision and they would like to be able to choose/populate which BOM revision the resulting production order should be created with. Not being able to assign the BOM revision makes the Create Production Orders batch processing less valuable, as they will still need to go in and update BOM Revision on each production order generated. Thank you,Greg

MRP Detail Inquiry by WO (Critical Materials but looking at entire demand)

Has anyone been able to create an inquiry that will allow you to see your expected quantity on hand by allocation date by WO? I’m essentially wanting to build a critical material but have it look at the entire demand rather than just that WO.

Scheduling in Sub Assembly Environment

Does anyone have any good resources for scheduling in an environment with sub assemblies?  Do you use Acumatica data? Visual boards? Would you share your screens or process?  or visual boards?  Is there any videos or resources you could point me to learn the best practice?  do you have a dedicated scheduler?  Any comments on large vs small jobs?  Trying to get better at this.  Thanks!

Sales Person to user set up

I have a couple of questions regarding sales persons that are linked to employees which are linked to a user and how to use this set up conveniently in Acumatica. Basically I want the ability for the logged in user to only have access to the orders and customers which they are the default sales person for. This could be in reports, dashboards, GI screens, etc. @ME does not work as a value in the default sales person field.How can I set up a filter on the sales order screen to view all sales orders with my logged in user as the sales person. I want this filter to automatically default to show the logged in users customers and sales orders without having to set the filter explicitly to that sales person. I’d like the system to detect the salesperson based on the logged in user and reflect this in filters for sales orders. I’ve tried setting Default Sales Person = @ME but that doesn’t work.My Goal is to provide a filter to my sales persons so they can see all of the orders where they are

Labor Batch Fails -

All I have a labor batch that Will release, create the GLBatch and Create the Cost Batch however the cost batch will not process. and the labor batch ends with an error Another Process has added the ‘AMProdEvent’ record. - The labor batch is still in “balanced” status, the Cost Transaction is still in “UNReleased” Status. My assumption is I could probably release the cost transaction. Which would finish the process. But would that close the Labor batch?

Adding a configuration key to a production order

Hi MFG community. I just ran into issue with 2022 R1 build 22.102.0054. My client has configurator. When you create  a production order and add the preconfigured key to the reference page, the order saves correctly.If on the other hand, your create the production order, click save, then add the preconfigured key to the references tab, Acumatica copies in the default Bill of materials associated with the configured item. It does not copy the preconfigured key build.Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Chuck

Product Configurator - How do you reference an attribute's value and a second attribute in attribute rules?

The goal is to leverage the width given earlier in configuration and a bottom spreader type selection to include a target option. So WIDTH = 36, BST = ‘ST’; Thus target option is BST36. My initial thought was to create a rule under the BST attribute like so:Include, Custom Condition,  Value 1: =([width]=36 And [bst] = ‘ST’, True, False), etcBut I’ll get an error when trying to run a test config when referencing the attribute I am creating a rule inside. I think it doesn’t like referencing itself ([bst] being the attribute in this case)To make things even more odd, I was able to do this on the attribute above this one, but this one is the last one and for some reason it just keeps throwing this error. Thoughts? Edit: Upon further investigation, I found that the test configurator doesn’t like having custom conditions that reference attributes that have not yet been defined. So I can use the formula above in the condition but only if there is a default value for that attribute already set

Sales orders/Purchase Order/Production Order Date updating

Hello. I was wondering if there is a place for me to learn how the dates between the sales order/ purchase order/ production order work. Also, what is the basic process for a situation of if one of the dates on the purchase order moves, can every corresponding production or sales order date move with it? Ie. I have a purchase order open for an inventory item. It currently meets the requirements date wise to complete a production order for a sales order item on time. If the vendor can not send the item on time and the purchase order is updated to reflect this, is there an automatic way for the production order and the sales order to move accordingly? Thanks!

Link Production Order to Sales Order

Hi,Have some questions on the “LINK PROD ORDER” button on the sales order, or the “LINK SALES ORDER” button on the production order. Is it possible to fill out a resulting pop up like this via the API? If not, how can I fill out the fields under “REFERENCES>SO REFERENCES” (SO Order Type, So Order Nbr, SO Line Nbr) on the Production Order when they are greyed out? Is there a way to un-grey these? If not, how can i fill out the fields under the line item on the Sales Order (Prod. Order Type and Production Nbr) when they are greyed out? Any help is much appreciated!!!Popup from LINK SALES ORDER button on Production Order

Overhead Calculations

It is my understanding in Acumatica Labor Overhead is not calculated unless you apply a qty to an operation. It is also my understanding that this qty triggers a “move” (but not into inventory) operation which kicks off the Labor over head calculation. Which is fine in many cases however in some case you have long run assembly time where you might be on an operation for a long period of time. The pitfall here is you will not be able to track the labor dollars effectively until you post a qty complete to an operation (even if that operation may not be complete in reality).  Couldn’t this behavior just be a preference to allow the labor transaction to trigger the overhead? Even if the qty complete it posted as 0?  I hope that all makes sense.

MRP to use the default BOM regardless of the warehouse entered on a sales order

Hello,We have multiple warehouses.  All sell/MFG the same products.  We’d prefer not to have a BOM for each warehouse since they are all the same.  However, when I regen MRP after entering a sales order, I get different results if the warehouse on the sales order differs from warehouse on the BOM.Example:Finished product with 4 different materials.Enter a sales order for the finished product using the warehouse on the BOM. Regen MRP MRP Display suggests a production order for the finished product AND purchase suggestions for the materials  (this is the desired behavior)Enter a sales order for the finished product using a warehouse NOT ON THE BOM. Regen MRP MRP Display ONLY suggests a production order for the finished product.  It does NOT suggest anything for the needed materials.I have tried using substitution work centers and see no difference in behavior. Again, I am just trying to avoid having 7 different BOMs for the same finished part just because it is being made in a different

BOM Export to Excel

I am trying to export a full part list with quantities for a specific BOM to excel that we can easily compare with our SolidWorks BOM to ensure they match on a new product line. Anyone have a helpful idea to do so without exporting each OP ID and phantom BOM individually and then combining into one excel spreadsheet?
