After a production order is closed or completed, can you still issue additional material to the production order? Can you enter more labor?

Once it is closed - you cannot make any additional changes.

Hi
If the order is Completed and not Closed, however, you can configure the Order Types screen to allow for additional Materials and Labor transactions, even if the order is Completed.
The settings highlighted below can be changed to Allow or Warn to cover all scenarios,
but you can test which ones work best for you.

If you need to correct the cost of a completed inventory item you have several options:
- Create another production order and consume the item(s) from the first production order. Add any material additions/subtractions to the new production order. This works for some cases, but does not work for serialized items since the serial number is already received, and Acumatica doesn’t realize that you are issuing>receiving again.
- Use an inventory adjustment to adjust the on-hand cost of the mfg receipt, and in the same inventory adjustment, adjust the qty of whatever raw material needs to be adjusted.
- Use a disassembly order to receive the materials back into inventory and the recreate the production order with the correct materials.
None of these approaches work well if you’re using the product configurator. You end up with duplicate configurations and it’s hard to tell which one is the correct one. We’re planning on customizing the product configurator so that it allows you to change a completed/closed configuration. It will bypass the step that updates materials on the production order and just show the user a warning that materials need to be manually updated.
