Problem: When a production order is created for a configured item, the “Mark for PO” box does not get checked on production materials that have the “Dflt. Mark For” value set to “Purchase” on the inventory item record. This means that no purchase demand will show up on the “Create Purchase Orders” screen and the purchasing manager will not be aware of any custom order materials that are required until production employees are ready to perform the operation and discover that materials have not been ordered.Affected Versions:2024R2 (all builds, as far as I am aware)Simple Workaround:Immediately upon learning of this problem, I created a Generic Inquiry to enable a user to easily view affected records. This displays Production Material lines where Mark For PO is false, but the Dflt Mark For value on the inventory item is Purchase. This is great, but potentially a lot of work, since it has to be reviewed regularly and requires a manual correction. I’ve attached the GI below, in case any ot
How do you create a default part in the product configurator?
Hello,We are revisiting our workflow for generating production orders based on MRP recomendations and looking at ways to automate the process. I have figured out how to automate MRP Regeneration to run on a daily schedule however I have not been able to figure out how to automatate the generatation of planned work orders for manufactured items based on the information in the Inventory Planning Display Screen. Ideally we would like to generate Planned produciton orders for all items with suggested action dates in the next 6 weeks. I started off by looking the “Create Supply Orders” button, but that just seems to take me to the Inventory Planning Display Screen, not sure if that is correct or not. Regardless I am looking for some input on how to automate this process.We are running Build 23.211.0017
We have lots of items that need to be marked for production, but I don't want our sales team to have to understand when to do this and when not to. I've utilized the "Make to Order Item" checkbox on the stock item screen and that works great. However, when placing an item on a quote, it does not automatically mark for production. No problem because it's just a quote at this stage. However, when we copy the quote to a sales order, I want all items to automatically mark for production. Is it possible to do this?
We are using MRP to identify when we need to manufacture an item. MRP is adding the Quantity Remaining to Produce from a production order to the Qty On Hand. In the example below the Qty On Hand shows 50 but in the first line below it is adding 168 to that number making the total Qty On Hand 218. The 168 is what is remaining on the production order to be completed. I’ve also included a screen shot of the production order showing the 168 Remaining to produce. How can I tell MRP not to add the remainder on a production order to the qty on hand?

Hello! Is there any way to have the Record Notes / Pop-Up Notes show up when we enter a material line directly into the Production Order Details? Currently we have a bunch of items that are Kanban and we do not want anyone to use the Mark for PO functionality to set purchase demand without checking stock first. Initially I put pop-up notes on the specific Kanban Stock Items and found that it didn’t pop-up when entered into the Prod. Ord. Details screen. Thought I’d try and see if it would copy as an internal note instead and came to the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
Is it possible to have a part default in the configuration? We have a client who uses the same door 95% of the time but needs the option to select a different door.
My team is trying to clear up our system, and we came across three material moves that were never completed, while the corresponding PO was. It seems like all three were duplicates of original material moves that worked, but now these three orders are stuck with the error “AM Error: The batch contains released related transactions and cannot be deleted.” and can’t be deleted no matter what we do. Is there a way to fix this issue?
Can any one help to understand How to Reconcile WIP Report with WIP GL Balance
We have an automation schedule that prints our shipping labels every minute after the shipments have been confirmed. These prints are sent to our zebra printers and usually work without issue. Some cases the label does not print and there is no error.How can we reprint a label for a confirmed shipment? If we can identify which print job it is we can reprint it that way, but there is no way to preview the label and there are no identifiers in the print job screen to know which label is correct
I am looking for a way to look at a multi-level BOM that shows a complete breakdown of make vs. buy on all levels of each part within it. Ultimately, I want to understand what the total standard time is for the BOM.
