We went live with our inventory system in Acumatica in January of 2022 and every single month we have dealt with unreleased production transactions against jobs that are already closed. We found out that when you approve the last step of the production order it automatically marks it complete. I believe this should not be possible, especially if there are unreleased transactions against it.

Acumatica has tons of checks and balances before marking anything complete and I think that a production order should not be able to go into complete status until everything has been released. Just like Acumatica won’t let you release an entry without matching debits and credits, this should also be implemented for Inventory. 

Make every operation a control point so it has to be reported.

Two settings on the Production Order type settings

  1. Set Do not Allow for Under Issue Material and Under Issue Backflush Materia
  2. uncheck Automatic Backward Reporting

 

Not sure if this is possible for your company - but we add a final Operation ID step that is blank (no items or labor are pulled) to every production ticket so a supervisor or manager can review to ensure all transactions are released prior to completing the production order. Just an idea for the mean time

There is a product improvement idea logged to improve this flow which is being considered for a future release.  Please upvote the Idea if you feel it addresses your pain point and please add your Use Case to assure the solution designed can resolve your issue.
