How to configure work centers How to configure tools How to configure machines For Finite Scheduling, when to run APS Maintenance The following topics were excluded in the first version of this whitepaper but may be
The purpose of the Production Costing Whitepaper is to help users understand how Acumatica collects manufacturing costs and calculates the cost of an item produced via a production order.Upon completing the whitepaper, the reader should be comfortable with the following concepts:How financial information flows through a production order How production orders collect costs How Acumatica calculates the cost of an item produced from a(n) Actual, Estimated, or Standard Costing Production Order How scrap costs are calculated and processes This knowledge can be applied it to by-products, and disassembly production orders but these topics are not directly covered within the whitepaper.
The purpose of the Material Requirements Planning Whitepaper is to increase your working knowledge of the MRP process within Acumatica. It is strongly recommended to first complete the M100, M200 Manufacturing Education course and be familiar with Acumatica Manufacturing processes and general MRP Configuration.Upon the completion of the whitepaper the readers should understand:Inputs to MRP and what parameters to consider if results are not as expected. How a parameter impacts planning results and where it is used in the MRP regeneration process. How MRP performs calculations The results presented by MRP by working an example backwards. Why exceptions are generated.The following topics are not addressed in detail in the Whitepaper as they are well covered in the M100 and M200 Acumatica Education coursesWhat is MRP How to configure basic MRP PreferencesThe following topics are not included in this whitepaper, but may be addressed in a future:Forecast generation see On-line help LINK Dep
Is it possible to use product configurator in Disassembly production order. I tried to do it but system is not displaying the configurator information to that we have configurator for this item and I am able to create normal Production order with the configurator.
Has anyone out there attempted to allow users to view 3D CAD Files (.step) attached to a BOM or Production Order from within their browser? I assume we would have to use a cloud based file management system that integrates with Acumatica.Only other option I see for Acumatica-initiated viewing is to download the files to the local machine, then use a free 3D CAD viewer software, like eDrawings (Solidworks).Obviously we can use a server directory, but the user would need to search the directory for the part number based on the Inventory ID from the Production Order.
Our client is using Estimating module and create estimate from Opportunity.The Amount on the opportunity header however is not populated from Estimate, only from items added in tab Details. Example below: only standard item priced at $1000 gets added into Amount.Is this by design and is this correct?How can I see the correct potential sales of my opportunity of the Amount does not include my Estimate?
Can someone give advice on creating a GI that would allow a user to search a finished good lot number and see the raw material used to create that lot? Currently we do this by using a different GI to find the production order number and move transaction associated with the lot, then going to the Events tab of the production order, finding the move transaction, then opening the material transaction that was created at the exact same time. I see the move number listed on the Material transaction under ‘Orig Batch Nbr’ so I’ve tried to creating various GIs using AMBatch, AMProdEvnt, AMMTran to at least create a simplified path to the information we need, but I was unable to get a material transaction to show up for every finished good lot even though I can find them manually by the process described above. Our VAR sent us a GI linking AMProdItem to INTran and INTran to INTranSplit, but that still didn’t do what we needed it to. Does anyone know how to either get a GI to display all move t
Our team buys and receives inventory in advance directly to the project before a production order even exists (pre-purchasing/stocking for the job). Because of this advance procurement step, we cannot use the "Mark for PO" option from the production order materials tab.When we create a standalone Purchase Order directly to a specific project and task, the system strips our project ID during the Purchase Receipt release, defaulting the inventory lines straight to our non-project fallback code (Project 800). Similarly, during production execution, our WIP debits hit the project perfectly, but the inventory credits fall back to 800.To solve this, we tried setting up a fresh test project with "Track by Project Quantity and Cost" enabled. However, it still fails back to Project 800.Upon digging deeper, we noticed a weird configuration mismatch:The global Project-Specific Inventory feature flag is definitely checked and enabled on our Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) screen. However, when
When my purchaser creates a purchase order from a production order it understandably creates a single line on the order for the total amount needed of that item for the production order. Currently our process involves lowering the quantity on that first line and breaking the total quantity out into several lines of that same item so that we can put in different promise dates for each line of the PO. When I or my purchaser go back to the production order details and click PO link, the new line appears but the checkbox to link it is inaccessible. Is there a way to make this accessible?
Is it possible to delete an activated Product Configurator? Is there a way to delete the Product Configurator that was created in the Pilot tenant, When the Production tenant was created, the Product Configurator was copied from the Pilot tenant to Production. However, these Configurators do not have any Production transactions associated with them. I want to delete those transaction but system is not allowing to delete.
Running 2025R2We recently discovered that the values set on the Inventory Planning Settings Tab are not being respected by MRP when a Vendor(s) is defined on the Vendors tab of the stock item. The values set for Min/Max/Lot on the Vendor tab overrides what is defined on the inventory planning settings tab. Here is a screen Shot showing what we have set on the stock itemHere is what the inventory planning display is showing.The above screen shots came from a stock item that had a vendor set, but the Min/Max/Lot on that vendor line were set to zero which is what was passed through to MRP. Result was that our purchasing group only purchased the exact demand needed (40) versus the min inventory plan of 600 because MRP provided the recommendation of 40. It is our opinion that the logic behind this is flawed. We believe that the Inventory Planning Setting values should always be respected by MRP. The values on the Vendor line of the Stock item should NOT influence the MRP plannin
I’ve noticed over the years that a string like .../(W(104))/… can be found in URLS, but I’ve never been able to determine what this indicates. I can create a link without this section of the URL, however it resolves back with a number when the site comes up. Can someone help me understand?
Is it possible to override the default WIP account in a production order when using a labor transaction? I need to hit a COGS for shop labor GL and not a manufactured products/material GL account. Reason being, the GL account for labor is in the account group for a labor line in the project cost budget. The default WIP is linked to the the materials line item in the cost budget. So I am having to post an extra project transaction that reclasses from materials line to labor. I would like to avoid this if possible. If there is a better way to get hours/dollars into production orders and accomplish the same, I’m open to that as well. I feel like it shouldn’t be this hard and I’m fighting the system.
We have a group of products offered with a single variant (color) where the color is simple to change in production. Many of the other components have long lead times and would benefit from the use of Dependent Forecasts in MRP/Inventory Planning I’m trying to figure out how to load a dependent forecast for a single item (ITEM-A) that has an identical BOM to a group of products (ITEM-B to ITEM-G) so that sales orders for any of the group of items is consumed against the forecast For example, imagine I enter a Forecast for a period of 10-units, and we take sales orders for the same amount in that period, but the color variants are different. How can we configure this to consume the forecast and net out to zero?Inventory ID Forecast Sales Order ITEM-A 10 2 ITEM-B 4 ITEM-C 3 ITEM-D 1 As configured, it appears Inventory Planning will expect a total demand of the 10 forecasted -2 on SO of ITEM-A (8 Total) + an additional 8 units from the other variants on sal
What is the limit on characters in the description field? 30? 100? 200?
Hello all,I am curious to understand the purpose of Keys under Production Configurator. Maybe with an example?Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,We’re seeing unexpected behavior in Acumatica 2025 R1 and would like to know if anyone else has experienced this.Our project is configured as:Inventory Tracking: Track by Location Allow Issue from Free Stock: Unchecked All project inventory is stored in a dedicated location (KIT). When we click Release Materials, the Material Wizard lists the materials. However, after selecting Select All, the Materials screen lists inventory from all warehouse locations, and the Inventory Source includes both Project Stock and Free Stock.Our expectation is that, since Allow Issue from Free Stock is unchecked, Acumatica should only issue Project Stock from the assigned KIT location and should not consider Free Stock at all.This is not the behavior previously. It only picked materials from the assigned project location (if it’s Track by Location) and did not consider Free Stock when the Allow Issue from Free Stock option was unchecked.If anyone has encountered this issue or found a workaro
I have a question regarding the purpose of the WIP Account in the Posting Class and Stock item.According to the documentation, the WIP Account and WIP Variance Account fields are enabled only when the MRP or DRP feature is licensed and enabled. However, MRP and DRP themselves do not perform any accounting postings directly, so I'm trying to understand the reasoning behind this dependency.From my testing, I observed that when WIP and WIP Variance Accounts are defined on the Stock Item, those accounts take precedence over the accounts configured in the Production Order Type. This behavior appears to be intentional.Does anyone know why their availability is tied specifically to the MRP or DRP license, even though those features don't generate GL postings themselves?
Hello, We are currently in the process of upgrade from 23R2 to 25R2. In the process, of upgrade we encountered an issue with scrapping on production orders. A case/Bug has been opened with Acumatica. However, we do not have an established timeline for resolution at this time. Problem:When performing a scrap on a production operation the Production Order Detail will record the scrap on the operation in which it was performed. However, the scrapped qty will not update in the first operations QTY remaining and QTY to Produce Columns. All upstream operations, from before the scrap action will remain in a “Completed” status. In our production environment, if a scrap occurs, we must start over from Operation ID 0010.This means, we have completely lost visibility to a production order in the upstream work centers that is starting over in the production process due to scrap. This also means, we lose our Material transactions and labor cost associated to the rework of the product in the upstre
We are an Engineer-to-Order (ETO) company where Available-to-Promise (ATP) dates are critical to our customers. These dates depend on multiple factors, including supplier lead times, manufacturing cycle times, shipping, and also engineering/design time.We are exploring ways to better incorporate engineering capacity into our scheduling and ATP calculations.Has anyone modeled Engineering as a work center within Acumatica to account for design capacity and better reflect its impact on delivery dates?If so, how was it configured, and did it effectively improve ATP accuracy? Are there alternative approaches within Acumatica to include engineering lead time and capacity constraints in the planning process?Thank you Daniel Lago
One of our clients recently went live on Acumatica and are struggling with easily logging time against multiple production orders at once. They are on 22.212.0046. The Multiple Clock Entry screen gets them close to what they need, but isn’t efficient for their shop floor team at all. They need to be able to select all production orders that are associated with a single sales order, clock into a work center, and then clock out of that work center. Ideally this could be done on the mobile app and via scanning, but that’s not supported. I tried exposing the Multiple Clock Entry screen on mobile but could not get it to be selectable when trying to add to a mobile workspace. (is there a step I’m missing here, or is this screen not supported on mobile?) With the browser interface, they can use column filters to select only the sales order and only the work centers they need, but they would still have to individually select all the lines to clock into -- there should be a “select all” option
Hi Team, through testing, we've confirmed:Delegation only works if the delegate is already listed as an authorized approver (in the Approval Map or Workgroup) for that step. Delegating to someone outside the map/workgroup has no effect - they can't see or act on the item, even though the delegation is saved. If a person is already a listed approver/workgroup member, they can approve on a colleague's behalf regardless of whether delegation was set up at all - simply because they're already authorized. This raises the question: what scenario is Delegation actually solving, if a Workgroup member doesn't need to be delegated to act, and a non-Workgroup member can't act even if delegated?Is Delegation intended for a narrower use case - for example, routing to a specific single person outside the group (rather than "any workgroup member"), or perhaps intended for approval maps that use a single named Employee approver (not Workgroup-based) so there's normally no built-in backup? Any clarific
Does anybody have an import scenario for the product configurator?
Hi, While releasing “Materials” transaction for Non-stock items , no inventory transactions (issue transactions) get recorded however for “Purchase Receipt” there is inventory transaction (receipt) get created. Is it expected behavior or I am missing something ? I have observed that scenario in 25R1. Please help me
We have an issue where our team processed a production Move transaction for the incorrect qty. and work order closed. Finished goods is now overstated and raw/pack understated. What is the best way to return and deconstruct some of that product to reduce our FG and increase the Raw/Packs?
