We have a client that does a lot of custom one off work, and they often reuse the same inventory ID, so they do not have to create 100000 inventory id that they will never use. They are using estimates, so everything gets built out to meet the needs of their customer, but when they go to add it in to the project, it will not allow for duplicates on the project task. They don’t really want to create multiple project tasks, as it duplicates a lot of their work flows. Ideally we would be able to utilize configurations, but configurations and estimates don’t play nicely, especially since there are a lot of outside processes and unknown charges that they need to then flow down.The workaround that they have come up with is to have duplicate inventory ID (remove and replace1, remove and replace 2, etc) so that they can add everything to the project task and group everything together.Not ideal, but better than creating a bazillion part numbers.
Does anyone know why as an Admin I cannot see al the user activates within the company? I am trying to then assign workgroups for department leads to review team activity but step1 - I cannot see them myself. Thanks
Does anyone know of a way to generate production tickets from MRP for the total quantities that are in demand for an item. Currently it is showing the same item multiple times and if you generate tickets it will create one by one instead of a sum of the quantity. If we manually sum the qty and create a work order for that quantity, mrp still shows the demand one by one until it’s complete. Quite cumbersome to keep on track. Any suggestions?
When performing a mass multi‑level cost roll, Acumatica doesn't recalculate bill levels for manufactured items from other branches or update their costs in the receiving branch’s assembly. It simply uses the existing standard cost.As a workaround, the mass cost roll process must be run twice. The first run does not pull the most recent standard cost from the sending branch, resulting in an inaccurate assembly cost in the receiving branch. The second run then captures the correct sending‑branch cost and updates the assembly cost appropriately.Can the cost roll process be corrected instead of repeating the mass cost roll process?
Hello all,How can I generate MRP consolidated out of all demands under a single row?
Hello all,The Completed qty is still 0 even after releasing Move transaction:
The Create Production Orders screen is sometimes including sales order lines that already have a linked production order. This seems to occur when the first production order is on an In Process status and has been partially completed. The new production order is for the remaining quantity.This is a big concern in a Make to Order scenario where Create Production Orders is automated. It can lead to over production of costly custom ordered product. We have opened a support case and this has been documented as a bug. In order to prioritize this for development, it would be helpful to identify if others are having this same issue.There is a similar known issue which was documented here and is considered resolved. We are seeing this issue in 2025 R1.Thanks in advance!
Based on testing in 25R2, using Generate Orders for Subassembly pegs the Constraint Date to the Parent Order Start Date (not the individual Operation Start Dates) for the Subassembly orders that are generated.The Due Date is smart enough to look at the Operation Start Date for when the Painted Assembly is actually needed, but Due Date has no impact in the Generate Orders for Subassembly action.We’d like the Constraint Dates for the child orders to be pegged to the OPERATION start date, not the ORDER start date. Is there a configuration we’re missing? We do not use APS.Other areas of the system seem to look at OPERATION start date to determine Constraint Dates/Promise Dates/Demand Dates. I know on the Order Type you can force the MRP system to “Use Order Start Date for MRP”, which pegs all Constraint dates to the ORDER start date, but there is no setting for generating production orders that says “Use Order Start Date [for pegging demand dates]”. This behavior seems inconsistent wit
I’m getting the below error when trying to Close a Production Order: Error: Updating 'Production Item Split' record raised at least one error. Please review the errors.Specify the quantity greater than 0. Which screen/section should I review to find the split line with 0 quantity? What is the recommended fix for old production orders where the split record has 0 qty (update split, clear allocation, add a completion, etc.)?
Hi all,We're piloting outside processing (subcontracting) in Acumatica for manufacturing and ran into a gap while testing: Vendor Shipments don't seem to be supported in the mobile Pick, Pack & Ship / WMS scanning flow the way Sales Order shipments and PO receipts are.This matters a lot for us because many of our items look very similar to each other, and scanning the barcode to confirm we're shipping the correct item is a critical control for us — doing it manually on the desktop screen increases the risk of picking/shipping the wrong item.Questions for the community:1. Has anyone built a customization to expose the Vendor Shipment screen to the mobile app framework (similar to how Shipments/SO302000 can be exposed for scanning), so it can be scanned like a regular shipment?2. Is there a known ISV product that supports scanning/confirming Vendor Shipments for outside processing in Acumatica specifically?3. Is this on Acumatica's product roadmap for the WMS module?Any pointers, wor
Hello, group,Long time listener, first time caller… We’re just getting started using the Rough Cut Planning and Production Schedule Board Modules and we’re wondering if there is a way to easily export the Production Schedule Boards. It’s old-school, but while we’re learning the tool, I would like each plant to print the Production Schedule Boards out for their Production Teams to review until we are fully comfortable with the tool and can display on a large monitor. We’re on release 2025 R1. Thanks...
Hello all,I have a scenario, where I would like to manufacture my FG either from Site A or Site B. So based on my Machine availability and MRP planning, I would like to have the option/suggestion from Acumatica as to from where shall I move to Produce my FG, whether it is from Site A or Site B.Is this possible in Acumatica? If so, how? Would be grateful for your guidances and inputs.
We just recently updated to version 2024R2 and since then have found our MRP generation is not consuming the forecasted demand. For instance our forecast for January 2025 has already been consumed by SO that exceed our forecast. However, MRP is planning to the original forecasted demand.
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
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
I’m currently testing the ability to find out what lot codes of consumables (like glue, RTV, fujipoly) or serialized parts were used in a serialized product. When I use the As Built Configuration and type in the serial number of the product, I am only shown the details of the parent production order. I’ve set the “Levels to Display” to a higher number than 1, which should have expanded the view to include child production orders, but nothing changed. My company is currently on version 25R1. Would appreciate any assistance getting the As Built Configurator working! Thanks!
We are consistently being reached for declarations and certifications for our products mostly via third party platforms on all regulatory compliance: Prop65, RoHS, REACH, Conflict Minerals, PFAS, POPs, and TSCA. When my searches for Acumatica - Manufacturing capabilities aren’t yielding Construction and Financial compliance I’ve been directed towards the Certifications tab under an inventory item, or directed towards the Quality Management.Looking to further explore the management Acumatica provides and am curious how others may be managing suppler declarations for components and raw material in Acumatica.
We’re working with BOMs that have multiple operations that all have required materials that are static no matter what configuration options are chosen. When looking at the price rollup options within Configuration Maintenance the available choices are: Parent: Only the parent stock item is the source of the configured price. (Fixed price) Children All: The selling price is calculated as the rolled-up selling price of each option, including any fixed materials on the bill of material, times the quantity of each option. Children CFG: The selling price is calculated as the rolled up selling price of each option, excluding any fixed materials on the bill of material, times the quantity of each option. Parent/Children: The selling price is calculated as both Parent and Children All. We’re selling larger ticket items and prefer to price things as whole numbers. So ideally we’d prefer to set a base price for the parent part number that accounts for the cost/price of the static materi
hello all,I have a BOM which has a non stock item added in one of the ops. Now when I released the production orders, released materials, created Labor & Move transactions there wasnt any mention of the non stock item being used. How can I track these under WIP?
Hello,I have been trying to release the Labor transaction but unable to do so: How to resolve this?
Our client is using Filters on the Inventory Planning Display in 24R2. While testing for 25R2, I noticed the option to setup filters is gone. This is a critical piece for our client. Is there a work around that I am missing? The client has many users of this screen that need standard filters to review the results.Has anyone else noticed or experienced this issue?
We have 25R2 and when we create a vendor shipment for a Production Order, if material is not in OI-WIP at that time, the material shows 0 on the Material Move of the Production Order once the vendor shipment is confirmed even though we transfer the material from a bin location to OI-WIP prior to confirming the vendor shipment.We now have about 5 vendor shipments that show On Hold, yet the Production Orders are completed. Material is NOT being taken out of inventory even though the vendor shipment does have the quantities shipped on them.Has anyone else had this issue? If so, do you know a fix?
