Manufacturing

We overproduce on our first operation sometimes. I want to be able to overproduce at that time. However, I do not want to allow for people to be to go crazy or not have the rest of the order qty’s controls in place that make each operation qty’s match.  Example set system to overproduce So, on operation 10 qty to produce was 100They were able to produce 150, and they complete 150 Then on operation 20 because system is set to allow over production, even though there are only 150 to make they complete 180.  I was trying to come up with the best solution so I could overproduce but keep the integrity of the locked system in place. Maybe some kind of buyoff and order adjustment? Operator triggers an over production buyoff, and some corrects the order qty? I don’t want to reinvent the wheel if something already exists.  

Is it possible to set up restrictions so that when a user is working in a company, they only have access to warehouses assigned to that company when the user also has access to other companies.Example:Employee A has access to Company 1, Company 2, and Company 3 Each Company has three warehouses assigned to it: Company 1: Warehouse 1A, 1B, & 1C Company 2: Warehouse 2A, 2B, & 2C. Company 3: Warehouse 2A, 2B, & 2C CURRENTLY: When Employee A is entering a PO in Company 1, they can select any of the nine warehouses I WANT: When Employee A is in Company 1, they can only select Warehouses 1A, 1B, or 1C and when they switch to Company 2, they can only select 2A, 2B, or 2C, etc.We have multiple companies that are separate entities but frequently buy and sell from/to each other and multiple employees that need the company access in order to generate intercompany PO/SO/Bill/Invoice etc. transactions. This leaves a lot of room for error (and a lot of choices) when selecting the ware

Hi everyone,We are using Acumatica hosted by a partner/SaaS environment. For security reasons, we want to restrict user log-in access so employees can only access the ERP while connected to our company's physical network (office IP).Since we don't have direct access to IIS or the hosting firewall: Is there a built-in feature or customization in Acumatica to restrict user logins by IP address or network range? How have other administrators handled IP restrictions when working with a partner-hosted environment? Thanks in advance for your advice!

During a recent prospect demonstration, an interesting question came up regarding sales order management, product configuration, and serialized manufacturing.Scenario:The customer manufactures custom-configured vehicles using chassis supplied by an external manufacturer. Each chassis has an assigned VIN, which is used to track the vehicle throughout production.A customer may initially place a single sales order for 10 vehicles, all with identical configurations. However, due to chassis availability and varying inventory lead times, the vehicles may not enter production simultaneously.For example:One sales order is entered for 10 identically configured vehicles. The first three chassis become available and enter production immediately. Four additional chassis arrive several weeks later. The remaining three enter production once their chassis become available. Each vehicle is tracked individually by its manufacturer-assigned VIN once production begins.Business Requirement:Although the cu

When entering a Clock Entry for Production Orders, the Order Type dropdown displays "No Value", even though there are two Production Order Types configured in the system.In the Mobile App, the Order Type is automatically populated based on the Default Order Type specified in Production Preferences. However, when creating the Clock Entry through the application, the system is not displaying the available Order Types and instead shows "No Value" in the dropdown. As a result other order type production Nbr is not visible in production Nbr field.Could you please confirm whether this behavior is expected and advise why the configured Production Order Types are not being displayed for selection?we can select the order type when we enter the Clock entry in web browser from drop down menu

Hi all,We are preparing to roll out change management for our Finished Goods BOMs in Acumatica Manufacturing and would like your advice on the best approach.Our FG BOM includes packing materials, an unpacking glove component, consumables, operations (10, 20, etc.), work centers, run time and run unit, labour cost per hour, tools, overheads, scrap factor and batch size.The challenge: packing materials and artwork change often at customer request, and Head Office (Marketing) hears about this first. The production details (operations, work centers, run times) are known only by the factory.We are considering two options:1. Head Office maintains the FG BOM and sends it to the factory with the sales order.2. A Factory BOM Leader maintains the FG BOM, but only after Head Office provides an approved document with the finalized packing details.Questions:- Which approach works best in practice, or is there a better one?- How do you control and approve BOM changes (for example, revisions or an ap

multi level cost roll works across all BOM levels when no additional filters are used.  Does Not work when trying to roll from bottom up using “BOM Material ID” filters. Have purchase parts that are consumed in multiple BOM trees across 5 upper levels. When the purchase price increases for that part, the pending is automatically updated from the invoice via business event. I want to selectively push that new purchase cost into all BOM trees in a single “Generate Cost Roll - Update Material Costs - Update Pending and Archive - Update Standard Costs” pass.  Why does the “BOM Material ID” filter stop the chain from rolling across all levels when running a wide open roll successfully updates all levels of the BOM trees? Running a single warehouse, have tested all settings I could possibly use. If you have an idea please let me know and I’ll give it a try! I have a concise BOM tree that is spread across 5 levels that I can use to test and check.

I’ve been searching and found where you can hard allocate Lot/Serial with Production Subassemblies, but in this case I am not using Lot/Serial numbers but I want to hard allocate the materials.The scenario is that the generated subassemblies should only be used in the referenced parent production order.   First, is there a way to do this and second is there way to make this happen automatically?

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

Folks, I’m the Acumatica product manager responsible for defining the advanced planning and scheduling (APS) features for the manufacturing edition. If you’re an Acumatica user, VAR, or OEM partner: Looking for the system to offer a better way to plan and schedule, Want to be notified of updates, and Want to affect the direction of our feature developmentThen join the APS group by emailing me at john.brown@acumatica.com.We’ll meet to discuss your planning and scheduling needs, and you’ll have opportunities to test and share your input on upcoming designs. I value your point of view. We have already started testing designs and gathering requirements from VARs and customers. If you’re interested, don’t miss out. Shoot me an email and let me know 😊

In APS is there way we can change the Production Schedule Horizon? Because by Default Acumatica providing 120 days for scheduling but can we change this?

Is there anyone that has come up with a way to split a production order after production has started, manually, that allows for the order to be tied back to the original order for quality compliance?If so, how are you doing it?We are trying to use Acumatica 2026.Example: 100 pc are put into production 7 steps into production we need to split the order due to some issue. 50 will be completed as originally planned and 50 will go through some other process before being shipped to the customer.We need to maintain the history of the entire production order for quality purposes. Even if it requires a custom report and some way to flag the orders to put them together.Using Lots or serial numbers are not an option.

The below has been submitted to our support partner.Issue: A PXLockViolation error is thrown when attempting to save a change to the production order warehouse for a production order with a linked sales order, when the "Yes" option is selected in the popup dialogue to also change the warehouse on the line of the related sales order.This error is present when no customizations are published and the sales demo data is loaded, so it is very simple to reproduce.  Confirmed Affected Versions:26.100.0175.2 26.100.0175.5 26.200.0334   Steps to Reproduce:  Create a production order from a sales order, or link an existing sales order and production order.

While the new Production Orders by Build Capacity is nice, you still have to look at the critical materials one-by-one per production order. We will need a way to get the Critical Materials for ALL jobs.Previous “Solved” community entry: Critical Material Report | CommunityI’ve seen a few suggestions about GI’s in community, but this appears to be a very complicated GI to build - anyone willing to share theirs, that would work for 2025 R2? Thank you!! 

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 

Hello everyone, We are evaluating the Zebra RS2100 and Zebra ET40/ET45 for use with Acumatica and would love to hear from anyone currently using either device.How has your experience been with the integration? Have you encountered any challenges with scanning, inventory transactions, performance, connectivity, or device management? Overall, would you recommend these devices for warehouse or manufacturing operations using Acumatica?Any lessons learned, pros/cons, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hello Acumatica Community,I would like to ask for advice on an issue in the Production module (Material Issuing to Production Order).Our setup:Glove types: Exam, Household, Industrial and Surgical. Production method: Lot-type production, which runs continuously. BOM types: Compound, Unpack and Pack. Warehouses: We have separate warehouses for the Compound, Production and Packing processes.The issue:Materials are issued (released) to the production order only at the end of production, just before the last batch is released. By that time, the earlier batches have already been moved from the Production warehouse to the Packing warehouse. As a result, the material cost is not allocated to all batches of the order.Questions:What is the recommended way to ensure the material cost is allocated to all batches of the order in this scenario?Should materials be issued progressively (for example, per batch) instead of once at the end? If so, how do others handle this in continuous lot-type product

Hello,  When I am creating production orders from different screens, the default scheduling method value is different. Is there someone who knows how this value gets defaulted exactly?Thank You!

Our production lines use the same inventory items across multiple buildings and production areas. Each work center has dedicated inventory locations that are physically closest to where the material is consumed. However, when material is issued to production, Acumatica defaults to the item's single "Default Issue From" location. We then have it set up to pull inventory from the next available location if there is none available in the Default location. We understand that each user can change the issue location during the Material release process, but we are faced with several challenges related to this task.Additional manual steps for every material issue to change locations. Increased risk of selecting the wrong location. Inventory inaccuracies when material is physically consumed from one location, but system transactions are recorded against another. Difficulty maintaining accurate on-hand balances across multiple buildings and production areas. We’d like the system to automati

I am trying to create production order in holidays which is mentioned in exception of work calendar but its allowing me to do production.

Standard Acumatica practices for Loan GRN / Settlement: we are occasionally receiving materials from our competitors on loan, to be settled at a later date. What is the standard Acumatica Practices?

Hi everyone Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue in Engineering Workbench and Visual BOM. In BOM, the Subassembly Item BOM is set to Revision B.But in Visual BOM and Engineering Workbench, it pulls in BOM Revision A. Is this intended behaviour of these two screens? Revision A is not the default BOM for the subassembly. Thanks for your input. 

Hello, From what I can see this is a common bug in 25R2; what we were wondering was what the most time efficient solution was for this bug. Currently, If it is stuck or unallocating, we clear the production and redo everything. We are an on-prem company so we do have direct db access: does anyone have a quicker way for us to fix this? Is there a scripting way we can do it?

I am trying to figure out why my WIP report AM654000 is not corresponding to my WIP GL its not like i have multiple WIP accounts I have 1 but the ending balance on the GL is way less that the balance on the WIP report
