Plan Order Type error in Inventory Planning

Working on using replenishment. However the message references a screen we don’t have access too. I believe that module was turned off in enable/disable, but Inventory Planning Should still work. Is this just a bug?

Inventory Planning Display as a Generic Inquiry

Hello! We are a manufacturing company, and we currently use the Inventory Planning Display screen to view what finished goods need to be manufactured in order to meet sales orders and safety stock. I would like to have the same information pulled as a generic inquiry (no actions, obviously) for the potential to utilize it with business events for production planning down the road while also using it to build a dashboard. Has anyone ever tried to make the Inventory Planning Display as a GI? Could I see how it was created? Thanks!

Clock Entry Approval error - Labor Transaction Already exists

Hello,We are getting an error when trying to approve clock entries, :The clock entry cannot be approved because a labor transaction with the NNN number has already been created for this clock entry.These clock entries are time applied to production orders.I thought that clock entries didn’t go into a batch until they were approved. Is that correct?How can I get past this error?

Creating PO for Outside Services

We are in the middle of implementation and I am writing a workflow for issuing Purchase Orders to Outside Process vendors for metal finishing (Ie: Powdercoating, Plating, etc), however I am not certain that I am totally clear on the correct process. We have setup non-stock items to represent the outside processes. These have been defined as a service, They have vendor(s) associated with them on the vendors tab and the default price as been set to $1.00. On the manufactured (stock) item I have defined a BOM and on the operation step for the outside service I have added the Non-Stock item (Powdercoat) to the BOM as a material. The qty required has been set to the per-piece cost that I was quoted, the Unit cost remains at $1.00, The material type has been set to “Sub Contract” and the Subcontract Source has been set to “Purchase”. On the Outside processes tab I have also checked the “Outside Process” box and have selected the preferred vendor for this operation. I have then opened

Thoughts on the Manufacturing Data Collection Module

Hi All,Wanted to get some opinions on the Manufacturing Data Collection module. What is your experience with it? Has it helped your operation? Is it worth getting? Would love to hear some scenarios where it helped.I was fond of the ‘Scan Material’ and ‘Scan Move’ functions, I definitely see that helping the team with minimizing manual data entry and all. Thank you!

Struggling with Backflush

Few questions as it relates to backflushing of materials against a production order:How does the system flag us if we do not have enough stock of items marked for backflush? In our current model (without use of backflush), we utilize a warning message on Move transactions. This warning message flags us that there are unreleased materials to be issued. This is great as it ensures all material gets issued. Now that we have certain items marked for Backflush, all these items appear in the warning message - making it impossible to decipher which will be issued during the Move transaction (backflush) and which are true unreleased materials. Is there a way to use warning message while omitting backflushed items?

SOLine cost for configured item

Depending on valuation method, SOLine cost is either last cost or average cost. For highly variable configured items, that doesn't work well and throws off margin calculations. Is there a way to cost an item based on the configuration, similar to what the configurator does for item price.

Product Configuration Maintenance

Set up a Configuration Maintenance for model 7 X 16-TA. Needed to change it but it’s not allowed and can’t delete it. Created a new version and market old version as “inactive.” System either will only recognize original version or give an error: Have tried all combinations and Set Active one as Default Configuration. New version tested out fine. Just will not allow use in Sales Order.What am I missing?Thanks.

Finding the data trail of production order details

We have, what probably is, a unique situation. We are trying to find all the data that goes into creating the production order details from the product configurator where we have used Phantom material types in BOMs past just one layer. What this results in is if we have Phantom’d on top of another Phantom, we only see the level up Phantom BOM. Is there somewhere in the background that we would be able to see all the data and return it to a table? Here is an example:A - Configured Product (This is Item getting produced) B - Option Chosen in Configurator (Phantom Item) C-Item in Item B BOM, (Phantom) C1-Item in Item C BOM (Phantom) C1.1- Item in Item C1 BOM (Regular) D-Item in Item B BOM (Phantom) D1-Item in Item D BOM (Phantom) D1.1 - Item in Item D1 BOM (Regular) E- Item in Item B BOM (Phantom) E1-Item in Item E BOM (Phantom

Excludes some orders/Order Types from MRP

We are working through some orphaned data in our system from our conversion. This data is all from 2022. I hoped there was a way to use buckets or something else to exclude this data from everything else ( or ignore it altogether). This is throwing our MRP numbers off and reconciling these orders is happening, but is time consuming,

Duplicate Lines on Sales Order report when adding Qty Allocated

I’m working on a GI that will have show in a line or partial line on a sales order is allcated. We use the Product Configurator so if we have a order with 10 configured products on it and one of the 1 is allocated the report will show a line for the one that is allocated and separate line for the 9 that are not. i can’t see to find the table name for the “Line Details” table on the SOLine that shows if a item is allocated or not and if that is the right table.I’m currently using the SOLineSplilt and getting the duplicates. Below are the Relations that i currently have but i have changed each one to no avail. any help would be much apricated.Our Production Team uses this report to keep track of what they have and have not build and sent to shipping. Shipping allocates the Non Configured Products and the Production Order auto allocates them as they are completed on the Prod. Ord. either way they drop off the Production list to build.

Disassembly should put components in default location

When disassembling an assembly in Acumatica the components are put in the same location as the finished good being disassembled. The components should should go into their respective default locations.While you can manually revise each components location so they are put back in the default location this is not currently the default behavior.

Manufacturing REST API Endpoint Documentation?

Hi,I’ve been able to login, logout, create sales order, etc. I’m not new to REST or ODATA development but I’ve only been using Acumatica API for the last few months. I’m looking for documentation, a postman collection or both that describes the MANUFACTURING endpoint. I’ve already found the DEFAULT endpoint docs. I’m also aware of the Web Services Endpoints screen which is my only “docs” at the moment.Have the Acumatica REST API reference docs really omitted the whole MANUFACTURING Endpoint and everything it contains? Perhaps it is just that I don’t know where to find them?I’m used to companies like Hubspot and others who document their products. I’ve managed to get a 200 OK from a request of the ProductionOrder endpoint through guessing and trial and error. That’s not that unusual with such API development but it would have been helpful not to be as in the dark. However, I haven’t yet attempted ProductionOrderDetail endpoint and I’ll be trying that soon. I believe my development would

Sales Order Marked for Production Secondary Production Order

Is there a way to have a secondy production order generated that is linked to a sales order line? For example if we enter a sales order line that calls for 10 units to be produced and production closes the order after only completing 5. (Or if production scrapped 5 units) Can another production order automatically generate for the remining 5 units required to complete the sales order line? Thanks
